Complete Repertoire List

Orchestral Performance

My History with Orchestra

I’ve played at least one orchestra concert per year every year since I started with it at age 8 in 1998 (27 years now!). I started with the Reading Orchestra (a string orchestra) at the Music Institute of Chicago, and I’ve loved it since day 1. I’ve been playing regularly in symphony orchestras since I joined New Trier High School’s Symphony Orchestra in my senior year in 2007. I played 1st violin in NT’s Concert Orchestra for two years before that (which was a string orchestra that morphed into a symphony orchestra for the spring concerts), 2nd violin in NT Symphony and my first three semesters in the Berklee Contemporary Symphony Orchestra at Berklee College of Music, 1st violin there for four semesters after that, and then I came out to Los Angeles.

Out here I initially played 1st violin in the Glendale College Community Orchestra for two semesters, and then made the jump to viola, which I’ve been playing since then in most of my groups. I currently play 1st violin with the Crown City Symphony, and viola with several groups including the Glendale College Community Orchestra (now the Symphony of the Verdugos) as principal viola, and San Fernando Valley Symphony Orchestra, CSUN Symphony Orchestra, and Topanga Symphony Orchestra as section viola. I play on occasion with the Pasadena Community Orchestra, and freelance elsewhere from time to time. In the years after COVID lockdown lifted I rejoined my orchestras with a vengeance 🙂 and have played around 20 concerts per year in 2022, 2023, and am on track for that in 2024.

Notes on the List

This list is roughly my complete standard-ish symphony / string repertoire that I’ve played since the end of 8th grade (20 years now!), though a few minor pieces that I’ve played aren’t listed here. They are listed alphabetically by composer, and then sorted by piece type. I didn’t include the “high school” string arrangements of symphonic works, just the full “real” versions of pieces. Berklee tried to expose players to a wide range of orchestral music every semester, so we only did limited standard repertoire, and usually not all of any multi-movement piece. In LA we’ve mostly done complete versions of the pieces we’ve played, but even here there have been a few times we just did a movement or two of a larger work. I’ve listed movements where that was the case, and I haven’t also played the full piece at some point. 

Bolded works are works I’ve played more than once on the same instrument (they are listed separately if I’ve played them more than once across instruments).
