Two days ago, I had the wonderful honor and privilege as a Sing for Hope Artist Partner to play another 1 hour 50 minute solo recital program at Moynihan Train Hall at Penn Station.

This is a program I’m very fond of. Happy to note - it seemed like there were some serious Chopin fans in the transient audience that enjoyed my playing of the complete Chopin Études.

Recital program:

Bach - Prelude and Fugue in G Minor, BWV 885, WTC Book 2
Rameau - Les Sauvages
Scarlatti - Sonata in G Major, K. 455

This lovely photo is from another studio class we had about a month ago.

Four times a year, I hold studio classes for my adult piano students - special classes dedicated to performance, critique, listening, and community.

We’ve had so many recitals, studio classes, and events this season that it’s been difficult to share them all 🙂
