I am so excited about this forum--it provides an opportunity for artists, administrators and conductors to share ideas about the present and future of music in the global scene. As a strong advocate for ensuring the traditions of the great legendary pianists of the 19th and 20th century, I have always been excited to explore new music and resurrect neglected scores as well. Always open to new ideas, please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas--new projects are created as a result, and I look forward to getting to know my musical community through this fabulous outlet.
