DAILY DOSE OF PIANO
A little musical medicine, if you will.
In this challenging time of the Covid-19 pandemic, I will be sharing one piano piece each day to bring some music and beauty into the world.
First Dose
PIERROT LUNAIRE, OP.21
One year and one day after last year's sold-out performance in Baltimore, I will be performing Arnold Schoenberg's expressionist masterpiece Pierrot Lunaire again, this time in Washington, DC.
"Pierrot Lunaire" ("Moonstruck Pierrot") is a melodrama about Pierrot, the sad clown character from the Italian commedia dell'arte, set to 21 poems by Albert Giraud. The narrator presents the poems in the sprechstimme style, a cross between speaking and singing. This interdisciplinary event features a musical performance accompanied by dramatic poetry readings and displays of visual art along with a pre-concert lecture.

THE SEVEN CHAKRAS
The video of this fun performance with the amazing saxophonist Todd Groves is finally up! Last year I was a guest artist at New Music Delaware where they celebrated the music of Daniel Dorff. It was a great honor to perform this piece for Daniel and to work with Todd.
