4.18.25 Three Nominations for The Eddies Awards

What a joy and surprise to have been nominated three times for the Eddies Awards this year, in two categories! The Eddies Awards is a regional award show that highlights our local music community.

In a delightful and funny turn, I’ve been nominated for Best Classical Artist, amongst such luminaries as the multiple Grammy-winning Albany Symphony Orchestra.

My partner and I have also been nominated twice in the Concert Series of the Year for our work curating the Lift Series at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, as well as the series we host in our home, Troy Listening Room.

1.23.25 Longing for a Small Life

Photo by Debi Luanne

I was tuning my portable piano the other day (a sentence I never imagined I’d write), and I thought to myself: This is it. This is all I want. No, I don’t mean tuning specifically. I mean the slow, process-oriented, un-sexy work of making music on a day-to-day basis.

12.4.24 Listening to far off things

Everywhere I look, I see the same emotional whiplash — folks finding care in their immediate community, rage at being abandoned by leaders, solace in a morning walk, disgust at condoned global atrocities, comfort in laughter with friends, fear of what comes next, nourishment in a simple bowl of soup.

9.19.24 Sounding Softly with Sellers Webb

It’s been a minute since I shared an interview. I’m trying out a new format — three questions, that’s all — and I’m delighted for us to get a glimpse into the ineffable, wonderful Sellers Webb.

9.6.24 I want to be a pianist with great hair

When I was a young girl, I idolized pianists like the Labèque sisters and Martha Argerich. They always had amazing hair and played with the most fiery I’m-a-badass attitude. I wanted to be them when I grew up.
