-Sept. 2002- May 2003. First guitar, Capilano college guitar ensemble. This was a
group of seven guitarists; a sort of guitar orchestra. We performed in the school as
well as in the community and had weekly rehearsals.
-April-May 2003. Toured Europe with the “Capilano Singers” and gave solo guitar
performances in Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium and Italy. This tour gave me
excellent opportunities to play in different corners of the globe.
-Summer 2003. Played over forty engagements in Whitehorse, Yukon at the S.S.
Klondike, Alpine Bakery and MacBride Museum. A big part of these contracts
involved conversing with the public (mostly tourists) and telling them the history of
the music as well as a bit about the Yukon itself.
-Spring 2004. Toured Ireland with “The University Singers of UBC” and gave five Solo
Recitals along the way including one in Dublin at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
-Summer 2004. Performed at the annual CBC Radio True North Concert, the
recordings of which are in regular circulation throughout the country. This concert is
a seriously difficult event to be a part of. Hundreds audition every year, only a
handful get picked. My task at this concert was to represent the Yukon in a pan-
northern event. See the attached note from Peter Skinner, the producer.
-Spring 2004. Performed for his holiness the Daly Llama, Desmond Tutu and Shirin
Abadi on their visit to UBC and the Chan Centre. This was a highly prestigious event,
only a select few musicians were asked to perform.
-March 2005. Played at the Commodore ballroom for an audience of 1400 as part of
the Vancouver Celtic festival. This is the biggest St. Patrick’s Day event in the city.
-August 2005. Represented the Yukon at Canada Games in Regina as part of the
National Artists Program. I was one of four from the territory chosen to represent the
territory at the Games.
-August 2005. Performed for a sold out crowd at Taylor Field at the Canada Games
Closing Ceremonies in Regina. I performed with a Pan-Northern group of musicians
and dancers to promote the Whitehorse games in 2007.
-March 17th 2006. Performed for a sold out crowd at the Commodore Ballroom for St.
Patrick’s Day. Mine was the only group ever asked to return to this huge event for a
second consecutive year.
-April 23rd 2006. Performed 2-hour graduate recital Program at the UBC Recital hall.
This program was the culmination of a year’s worth of practice and study. It featured
music of South America, Spain and Germany.
-June 20th and 21st 2006. Performed as a special return guest at the 25th
anniversary of the True North Concert in Yellowknife. This was an enormous event,
the audience of which included the CBC Board of Directors and The Governor
General of Canada. CBC North sought to put on an impressive show for the event
and I’m very honored that they contacted me for the event. See attached note from
the producer.
