The Rock Orchestra

Since 2023, I've played over 200 shows with The Rock Orchestra, and there's no sign of slowing down. We play over 100 shows a year, across a span of 5-6 months. It's a lot of time away from home!

​

The Rock Orchestra reimagines rock and metal music in a way that is exciting, aggressive, sometimes a little menacing, and always pushing the envelope. I’ve spent more than three years with the production as both bassist and fixer (and sometimes even an MD), performing in the ensemble while recruiting, contracting, and supporting the musicians who bring the show to life.

​

It is an unusually natural fit for me. I grew up completely absorbed in rock and metal, even as my professional life developed through classical music and the double bass. Getting to translate riffs, distortion, and the physical force of that music onto the double bass feels less like a crossover project than the task I was born to take on.

​

Throw on top of the pile the fact that I managed to get my arrangements into the show, and you have something that feels both rewarding and meaningful. Hope to see you out there on the road soon!
