Frances Clark Center Webinar /
Under the auspices of the Frances Clark Center and Piano Magazine, I was invited to participate in a webinar on entrepreneurship, "It Works Until it Doesn't: Reinventing the Model of a 21st Century Musician.” I joined a panel of distinguished pianist-educators: Allison Shinnick, Jani Parsons, Elaina Burns, and Annie Jeng. Thank you for having me; it was a privilege to speak with you all!
Celebrating Brahms' Birthday, Quarantine-Style /
Greg and I wanted to find a way to celebrate the 187th birthday of Johannes Brahms; we love his music and many of our concert programs this season revolved around his mammoth Sonata in F minor (aka the Piano Quintet). So this was last night’s quarantine activity: recording our new arrangement of Brahms’s “Lerchengesang,” from our residences on opposite coasts. #togetherathome
