Rarely am I ever on this platform these days, but a brief update feels important: I’m rededicating my life’s work to opera as a vital and evolving art that connects + inspires, and grateful to join the philanthropy team at @HouGrandOpera starting this month

New readers!

So happy to be here at @rvasymphony for the world premiere of Damien Geter’s Sinfonia Americana

Final flight of 2023 - unreasonably excited to hear @JimmieHerrod with @slso under conductor Norman Huynh for a spectacular NYE concert!

I fear that the departure of Peter Marks from the @washingtonpost essentially spells the beginning of the end of the publication’s serious arts coverage

The 2023 Giants of Jazz at @SOPACnow is taking flight, honoring the legendary @KennyBarron88 - ready for a spectacular night celebrating jazz legends

This child! His life was forever changed for the better through the support, counsel, and care of teachers like Mr. Erbe, Dr. Phillips, Ms. Harris, Mr. Cilia, and many more. Now it’s time to pay it forward. 11.29.23

Huge congrats to my dear friends at @TWChorus on the occasion of this well earned rave from @michael_brodeur in the @washingtonpost for important new collab w/ @NatPhilharmonic #dc #classicalmusic #thewashingtonchorus

Very excited for @MerrilyOnBway tonight! Toi toi toi to this entire remarkable cast and crew, including to @JamilaJ0y for stepping in as Mary for her Broadway debut! #merrilybway #broadway

Tonight! 8 pm at @SOPACnow - it’s the luminous (and hilarious) Broadway belter @JessicaVosk in concert with special guests including @KaraLindsay1 - limited number of tickets remain!

Somebody crowd me with love. Grateful for life, health, creativity, curiosity, and grace as I begin my 45th year on this planet.

The utterly brilliant Pedrito Martinez Group is exploding with rhythmic joy tonight at @SOPACnow

Thank you @BeltingBonnie + Victoria Clark + Alex Vinh + @AlliMauzey and entire company of “Kimberly Akimbo” on Broadway for your tenderness + artfully crafted message of hope and love

Congrats @ParkAveArmory + @jonaskauffman and company on a deeply thoughtful and often riveting staging by Claus Guth of Schubert’s “Schwanengesang” #nycarts #parkavearmory

An extraordinary and poignant night of music and community at one of the opening performances of PAC NYC - just an absolutely breathtaking night!

I insist on empathy. Including especially from me to others. And from me to me.

Here at @MetOpera @LincolnCenter tonight to support my friend and colleague, bassist John Lee, as he performs for a “Musical Marvels” special event

Tonight at @SOPACnow - truly excited for the SOPAC debut of powerhouse soul singer @livwarfield as she opens her national tour for her terrific new album, “The Edge”

I submit for your consideration that the new @anjimilemusic album “The King” is the most audacious and important new work of music to be heard in all of 2023.
