Dear CMOTF Family,
It is with deep gratitude and a heavy heart that I announce my decision to step down as Artistic Director of Chamber Music on the Fox, an organization I had the honor of co-founding over ten years ago with my dear friend and colleague, Sara Sitzer. As with any great endeavor, growth often brings the bittersweet realization that, in order to thrive, we must sometimes let go of what we hold most dear. As my performing and teaching career continues to expand, I find myself unable to devote the time and attention CMOTF truly deserves. However, I leave with complete confidence in our exceptional board of directors and staff to carry forward our mission with the same passion and dedication.
Words cannot adequately capture what it has meant to serve this community and to provide the highest level of artistry through our work. Every time a patron has shared with me how much CMOTF has touched their lives, it has filled me with immense pride and fueled my commitment to our vision. I am profoundly humbled by the extraordinary musicians, staff, and supporters who have shared this journey with me. The concerts we’ve produced and performed together have left an indelible mark on my soul, and I will forever cherish those memories.
As we look ahead, I am thrilled for the incredible performances CMOTF has in store this season. With heartfelt thanks for your support and trust over the years, I wish CMOTF continued success and am excited for what lies ahead.
