Special Projects
These Special Projects fill my musical life with joy and passion: connecting hearts.
While performing, engendering empathy for our shared humanity with musical partners and audiences is paramount.
While coaching with singers and collaborative pianists, I am dedicated to supporting individuality in their art and in their lives, helping them align their purpose with beauty, meaning and transcendence.
How lucky we are that we have the language of music to express our feelings and understand the world more fully.
