  • My TED story

    I'm not sure what to write here, but I think talking about my group No Signal may be the best thing.

    No Signal is a unique ensemble that blends new calssical music, pop, jazz, rock, sketch comedy, improvisation, and audience interaction. Our shows cover a wide range of serious topics (such as what happens after you die) to light-hearted jokes (such as sneaking up behind someone with very large cymbals...). Performances offer something for everyone, both entertaining and challenging audiences.

    We are made up of musicians at The Peabody Conservatory, all of whom have multiple abilties, like playing cello, trombone, and guitar.
