part of a group of gifted musicians who emerged from
Prince George, BC,
in the 1980s. He began violin studies at the age of four,

gave his first world premiere of a concerto written for him as a soloist
with the
Prince George Symphony Orchestra.
Since that time, Karl has remained an avid lover and performer of
new music,playing and premiering many solo and chamber works by
national and international composers. This past season he performed
three world premieres as a soloist in violin concerti by
Michael Oesterle, Doug Smith and Jocelyn Morlock.

music, in addition to appearing frequently as a concertmaster in Canada
