Reliving our super fun concert at @applehillmusic back in 2023! Here’s a short clip of me and @lskappy playing Mayke Nas’s DiGit No. 2, right before a bad page turn that thankfully failed to sabotage the performance. It was the last piece of a long program, and we were so ON. It was exciting and such blast 🙃💕 Check out the full performance, link in bio. Thank you Apple Hill for this special opportunity!

This April, we were proud to share three distinct new releases—each one exploring a different facet of the human experience through sound.
✨ The Elastic Heart of Youth – Bruce Levingston
With this release, we present a deeply expressive piano journey that weaves together voices from Jean Sibelius to Claude Debussy and Missy Mazzoli. The program moves through tension and stillness, capturing resilience, renewal, and the quiet strength that endures beneath it all.
🔥 Brouhaha: Shaped By Fire – Maiani da Silva
In this bold, interdisciplinary project, we bring together music and anthropology in a reflection on our connection to nature—and to each other. Inspired by everything from ancient communal fires to modern digital life, this vibrant collection of contemporary violin works invites listeners into a shared, evolving story.
🫀 SEMMELWEIS – Raymond J. Lustig & Matthew Doherty
With SEMMELWEIS, we explore a haunting and deeply human narrative through a powerful song cycle inspired by the life of Ignaz Semmelweis. Told as a fractured, dreamlike reflection, the work delves into memory, obsession, and the emotional unraveling of a mind confronting its own past.
From introspective piano to experimental violin to dramatic vocal storytelling, these releases reflect the breadth and imagination at the heart of what we do.
We invite you to listen, reflect, and experience these stories with us.
The albums are available through our website.

On the album, ‘Brouhaha: Shaped By Fire’ by Maiani da Silva | The drive to express and understand are both deeply human. Brouhaha combines two cultural pillars—art and science—to further ask: What separates and also connects us to the delicate web of nature, our environment, other species, and one another?
Audio except from Sonata For Violin and Electronic Sounds, “XO” (2023)
Kelley Polar b.1974
The album is now available today through our website and the 🔗 in today’s stories.
