Currently, she is a doctoral candidate at the Yale School of Music, where her teachers have included Peter Frankl, Christopher Elton, and Peter Serkin.

About the series
Recital Stream is a new platform for audiences and performers of classical music in response to the Coronavirus crisis.
We are all adjusting to a life lived further apart from one another. But staying at home needn't mean missing out on the thrill of witnessing great music, performed live. Indeed, as we navigate these treacherous and uncertain waters, it is our belief that we need great art more than ever.
Our outstanding featured artists will be presenting informal performances live from their living rooms to yours.
Artists across the world have been severely affected by the current crisis, as engagements evaporate and incomes are decimated for months. We recognise that particularly in these challenging times, not everyone will be able to spare the price of a concert ticket. That's why these livestreamed concerts are free for everyone to enjoy. For those with the means who would like to support our artists, however, there will be the opportunity to donate to them directly.
