Dear Friends:
I'm thrilled to announce that I have joined the international roster of Steinway Artists! It's truly an honor to be among such great artists, both past and present.

Even as Baby Kate has sort of taken the spotlight in our family recently, her big brother Matthew has taken wonderfully to his new role. He has been, in fact, mostly unfazed by her presence and by his parents' need to split their attention between siblings. Mostly unfazed...if he wants to be held and catches me holding Kate, he'll definitely inform...

There are certainly times when a concert should follow the traditions and practices of sitting still, sitting quietly, stifling coughs and sneezes to the point of agony, applauding at the right time, etc. These are all good things. But they are not always the most user-friendly, nor do they always make people want to go to "classical" music concert...

Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting? (1 Corinthians 15:54-55)
I'm mor...

95 years ago today, the composer whose music moves me most deeply passed away. This morning's soft, overcast skies afforded the perfect light in which to revel in the beauty, color, honesty, humor, and innocuous delight of his works.
Claude Debussy (August 22, 1862 - March 25, 1918)

I was sifting through my old hard drive in search of something else, but came across this old gem, taken one year ago today (remember how it was a balmy near-80 degrees?), right before the Holland Symphony Orchestra Family Concert last year, and also right before we checked Matthew into the hospital for pneumonia.
I had originally dismissed this...

It's been fun getting to know Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals with my partner-in-crime Adam Clark (my awesome colleague at Hope) and with my favorite Holland Symphony Orchestra. Come hear us this Sunday afternoon! Bring your kids -- they'll be delighted by the plethora of artwork from local schools on stage, in the lobby, among the seating are...
