Dear Friends, Fans, and Family,
I am thrilled to announce that next month I will be performing the Harrison Violin Concerto with the Manhattan School of Music Percussion Ensemble. I’m so excited to play this rarely-performed piece. It’s unlike any other concerto for the violin! I never in my wildest dreams imagined I would perform a solo concerto at MSM, but I’m glad I get to kickstart my solo ambitions. Tickets are free, livestream link is below. Concert date is 4/6 @7:30pm.
* Short addendum to my video: I’ve learned much more since I recorded it last month. The percussionists are not banging on ceramic pots, they are *playing* flower pots. The objects may be considered “found” but Harrison is actually very specific. The percussionists will play coffee pots, brake drums, etc.

I’m the proud new owner of a violin by Fabienne Gauchet, made in 2022! It looks amazing and sounds amazing. After years of searching, I’ve finally found my sound. Can’t wait to share it with the world. 🌎
A few recent accolades by this maker include:
🏆 Double Gold for Tone and Craftsmanship (Violin Society of America 2022)
🏆 Finalist w/ Honorable Mention (International Triennale Competition; 2018, 2021)
There are so many more awards she’s won. It’s crazy! I’m excited to craft the sound of this instrument and grow with it. Every time I play it I learn something new about violin. Truly blessed! 🎻

📷: “Traffic Lights” by Lucas Zimmerman
Long exposure image of traffic lights in the fog.
“The unknown hue of blueish light is like the fog hidden for the human eye, but the photograph shows us things we otherwise overlook, such as a simple traffic light on the street. An all known object which produces a strong effect in an unnatural situation with a simple photographic setup”

Harvard Graduate School of Education on benefits from the regular practice of music:
- enhanced cognitive flexibility (our ability to shift perspectives and/or adapt to new environments)
- Improved working memory
- Increased activation in areas of the brain associated with executive function
Yet, those who make decisions about school curriculums continually need to be convinced that music education is worth our attention and money.
Music Lessons Tracing links between musical training and executive function — and bolstering the case for music in schools.
