& Hi all! HAPPY NEW YEAR... and Thank you for visiting:) Well,what an autumn that was... "LEGRAND AFFAIR" is now available! Its been so meaningful to create this music, I must say, it only took 6 years and 3 babies, (and miles of wishing). I hope you enjoy it. Reviews have been crazy, I am so grateful- starting with JAZZTIMES (click here), and "spectacularly beautiful" (Wall Street Journal) and Washington Post "Hi-Fi Heaven: with a voice that laps up like waves from a crystalline lake" and Joan Hamburg "its glorious!" I'm so grateful! And several others have come too, such as this CT NEWS REVIEW and USA TODAY'S statement that it is "rapturous." I'm also very relieved this CD is not in my closet anymore HONESTLY! Follow me on Twitter and Facebook for ongoing links, such as ICON MAGAZINE (don't miss it- feature on pg 52-54)
and the write-up that just floored me, a must read!... CLICK HERE
I hope you'll write some consumer reviews so I can help get the word out!
2011 finished on a high with a memorable evening in a play with Matthew Modine- CLICK HERE

LEGRAND AFFAIR and MORE ( PART 1)
It was a great few months as I worked on the Regina Spektor musical workshop BEAUTY directed by Tina Landau (based on the tale of sleeping beauty, and many other ideas springing from it) and filmed a guest star role on "A Gifted Man" (CBS) airing November 11th with John Benjamin Hickey and the wonderful Patrick Wilson... This was coming off a whirlwind summer with concerts and kids- starting with Sprague Hall in New Haven (with my father at the piano, the ultimate leading man I guess!), CAMELOT with Jeremy Irons on Broadway, and Guild Hall with Alec Baldwin in the US premier of THE GIFT OF THE GORGON by Peter Shaffer-- (a play which took me a week to stop shaking from), as well as a solo orchestral concert in Maryland (actually my solo symphony debut!). All while helping my eldest daughter brave her first days of KINDERGARTEN and the twins (age 2.5) began preschool (and violin and ballet!)
2011 had a lot of good, and I'm really proud that the film Patrimony was chosen to open the Boston Film Festival--Click Here for Patrimony Trailer -I loved working on that movie. I can't believe I've gotten to have so much creativity in my life, while changing diapers/potty training and hardly sleeping sometimes:)
Above all, I am proud to have gotten Legrand Affair to the place it was always meant to be, in honor of Michel Legrand who I love and respect beyond words. what's next? auditions!! and taking a breath.
Take a peek at the Photo Gallery which has theatre, parties, and studio imagery galore. Of course I'm also on Facebook if you want to talk some more. Thanks for taking time out of your busy life to enjoy a little visit.
