A Case Of You (Live At Bennett's Lane 2013)

In November 2013 I was lucky enough to be approached by flautist Hannah Reardon-Smith of Brisbane contemporary classical ensemble Kupka's Piano to perform this piece. Composed by New York soprano Kate Soper with text by Lydia Davis, it's a highly dynamic and exciting piece with lots of technical and emotional drama. It was my first experience rehearsing and performing contemporary classical music and it was just the most wonderful experience, Hannah was an incredible mentor throughout the process and I learned so much as a musician and vocalist. It was a rare treat and I highly encourage you to follow Kupka's Piano, they are doing incredible things and a very important and necessary component of the Brisbane cultural landscape!

Improvisation I did with amazing Morten Poulsen at SIM (school of improvised music's summer intensive). July 2013 nyc. 


improvisation #2 with Morten Poulsen

I was insanely lucky and grateful and blown away to be able to have a lesson/play with Ran Blake in Boston. To be able play with one of my heroes was one of the most incredible experiences I've had. Yay! I had literally gotten off the train from NYC after 23 hours of flying, so theres a few jet laggy moments. But it's Ran Blake! Listen to him! How incredible is he.....
