About

I am, first and foremost, a champion of Ravel. I perform everything he wrote for piano — solo, chamber, art song, and concerto. With his ear for harmony, his hunger for color, and his painstaking craft, his music speaks in a way that is deeply relatable to me.

Ravel believed his music already existed and that his role was only to discover it.

When I play, I embark on my own type of discovery. In practice, I can feel him composing — him searching for the perfect chord as I search for the perfect sound. In performance, I invite the audience to search with us, discovering together the subtle tensions and quiet brilliance that define his music.

Music

I usually play post-romantic works in the classical genre, most frequently the music by Maurice Ravel, but I also enjoy music by Ginastera, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Glass, and other more modern composers. However, I occasionally visit the music of Bach, Mozart, and Schubert.
