Great children’s books move young hearts, yes, but they also move the great common heart that beats in the chest of humanity by articulating in the language of children, which is the language of simplicity and absolute sincerity, the elemental truths of being: what it means to love, what it means to be mortal, what it means to live with our fragilities and our frissons. As such, children’s books are miniature works of philosophy, works of wonder and wonderment that bypass our ordinary resistances and our cerebral modes of understanding, entering the backdoor of consciousness with their soft, surefooted gait to remind us who and what we are.

2020 has been a thought-provoking, eye-opening, reflective, personal, intimate, challenging, peculiar, special, memorable year for many people in vastly unique ways. Myself, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities that arose even while others were reft. Family, routines, rituals, peace, calm, quiet, more and more space to listen and hear, more deeply, more inwardly - sounds, ideas, nature, emotions, gratitude.

I think Schubert perfectly captures this spirit of the mind and heart. The joy in simplicity.

We are so grateful and excited to share a HD broadcast on Remembrance Day 2020 of our Song of Praise concert livestream in Lunenburg. Please join us again and interact with the community in real time to create more gratitude, awareness, and beautiful wishes <3.

The "Tempest" was one of the first Beethoven sonatas I studied with my teacher Boris Konovalov - without whom I don't think I would be here still passionately pursuing and believing in this career. It's always a special experience to rediscover a piece that has simmered inside us while we grow as people and artists. This was a really personal and meaningful way to conclude my time at LAMP 2020. Thank you, for the millionth time, to everyone involved to make this happen.

Finally so close to performing again! After countless unexpected hurdles thrown our way, we’re so grateful for the wonderfully dedicated team at LAMP and all their patience, resilience, and hardwork to make this next month of music happen.

Join us for two intimate, personal evenings out in the gardens of the historical Château Ambroisie and Château Ramezay. There will be poetry, there will be art. There will be orange lanterns glowing under the fall foliage, calming incense sticks, and blank paper slips for you to fill with a personal message. And of course, music.

Here are some exciting updates and news for the coming year!

It's a crazy time, don't let the music stop.

It’s always such a treat to play on a beautiful instrument in a beautiful hall with beautiful musicians <3

:’) I really loved working on this trio - so full of drama and charm and virtuosity. Big thanks to Sam Hanna for the recording!

I am so thrilled to share that my solo recital program, “Homecoming”, has been chosen as a winner for the Nordic Strings Academy’s International Music Competition for "Concert Tours to China"!

For 10-20 days, I will be touring with this program at major concert halls across China. This is such an exciting and special project for me - full of the passionate Russian repertoire closest to my heart as well as new commissions by two of my closest friends. I am incredibly honoured and grateful for this opportunity and can’t wait to share this amazing music with a new audience!

I’d like to introduce you to some ideas and thoughts about entrepreneurship, how it can launch your career, share my experiences, explore social media tools~

We finally have these amaaaazing quality recordings! 💕 so lucky to get to play in the beautiful Pollack Hall and work with such talented recording artists through long, late, bizarre, confusing, derpy, fun, exciting sessions ~

Sometimes just appreciating and listening attentively to the audio without a visual component is a much more powerful experience of the music.
