The Piano Gallery

Haleigh’s musical journey commenced in August 2020 during the Covid-19 lockdown. She had her inaugural piano lesson in May 2021. At only 11 years old, Haleigh composed and performed her first piano sonata in the Summer of 2022 at Texas A&M University Kingsville. She then composed her first piano concerto with orchestration in the Summer of 2023, followed by a performance with the Corpus Christ Chamber Orchestra.

Haleigh, a member of the Corpus Christi Area Youth Orchestra, also composed one of the symphony pieces performed during the Spring 2024 concert.  To date, Haleigh has composed 30 plus works to include symphonies, piano concertos, solo piano pieces, as well as chamber music for smaller ensembles.

Haleigh recently had the distinction of having two of her original Bassoon and Cello Duets performed at the Fall 2024 SoundWaves Festival at Texas A&M Corpus Christi. Taking the stage 35 times since her first performance in November of 2021, Haleigh’s musical career continues to blossom. Having been selected to perform at an exclusive international chamber music festival in Kaufbeuren, Germany in January 2024, Haleigh has now graced the international stage, a mere 140 miles from Mozart’s birthplace. Her three performances in Germany included original compositions, as well as pieces by Beethoven, Mozart, and Chopin. Haleigh has already received a second invitation to not only perform again in Kaufbeuren, Germany in January 2025, but also to compose and perform a piano quintet during the festival.

Haleigh is currently studying piano under Dr. Joachim Reinhuber at Texas A&M University Kingsville and composition with Dr. James Wilding, a professor at The University of Akron in Ohio.
