The human voice is so expressive that even small adjustments can completely transform the emotional impact of a passage. That's what makes my collaboration with @singbree so rewarding!

A lot of my music begins with something outside of music — a poem, a philosophical idea, an image of the night sky. I translate atmosphere into sound, so while the piece doesn't literally describe the idea, it carries that landscape.

The stage should serve the work. Atmospheric lighting, space around the performers, an environment that lets the audience focus entirely on the sound world.

Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 19 showed me how powerful interpretation can be when you fully commit to the architecture of the music. Re-watch my performance of the third movement at Merkin Hall, a performance which @_interlude_hk described as "absolutely breathtaking” — link in bio.

There are moments when the whole room becomes completely still — everyone leaning forward at the same time. Those are the moments I work for.
