Premiering New Works By richard Field

I am excited to premiere new works by Richard Field in 2024. We will be releasing two violin sonatas and a piano trio. Richard's music is an eclectic blend of styles, with classical roots with elements of jazz, folk and rock. It is an exciting exploration into a new frontier for me. The orchestration creates unique challenges that are expanding my approach to the violin.

Breathing With Bach

Check out this excerpt from my CD release party

Breathing With Bach - Live by the Pool!

What is Breathing With Bach?

A 14-Track album comprised of instrumental improvisation, and spoken word, and the music of J.S. Bach!

I have always enjoyed playing and teaching the Bach solo works for the violin. 

About a year ago I decided to do a deep dive on some of my  favorite slower movements.

Why? 

We were in quarantine.  

Through this questionable time, these works were providing solace, comfort, wholeness- a way to go deep into my soul.

Soul Music!
