Classically trained from the age of 10, Colleen has collected two performance degrees, numerous honors and awards, and decades of experience. She specializes in chamber music and solo viola repertoire, and is well versed in symphonic literature.  
Colleen formed an instant bond with the viola after hearing a  selection from Disney's Aladdin on instrument demonstration day in the 4th grade. Since that day, viola has been at the center of both her professional and personal life. She has studied privately with some of the most famous string players of this century. Currently, she performs with well-respected orchestras around the Midwest.

Colleen is currently recording a solo album due out in 2023.
