Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas!

I so wish I could be with you right now, celebrating this year and welcoming the next. I imagine us sitting at the piano. I’m playing and we’re singing together – all the songs we love. I’m harmonizing, like I love to do, and I can hear your voice singing with me.

This is a season of celebration — of the beautiful moments we shared.

I always believe that the most meaningful gifts we can share are those that reflect our true selves. With that in mind, I wanted to share something special with you this season.

This Holiday Weekend:

These are the gifts of LISTENING I want to share with you:

• Fantasy improvisation on CAROLS from around the world and play them solo, so I created this recording called The Gift: 15 Fantasies on Carols from around the World from Listen & Download “The Gift” Here
• A Dreaming improvisation on CLASSICAL THEMES – improvisations on some of the classical themes that I’ve always loved by Debussy, – Listen & Download “Harp by Candlelight” Here
• Reinventing Silent Night – a few years ago I took on the challenge to create a new version of Silent Night for 15 days straight: Watch & Listen “15 Days & Ways of Silent Night”

This is the gift of FANTASY – a Filmed-Live Musical about two mythical creatures and the Golden Cage they …. ??? freedom from your own inner cage that I want to share with you

For many years I dreamt of being able to share this fairy tale with ANYONE – it’s the musical I always dreamt of completing and sharing and after YEARS of work and the inpsired collaboration of so many people, I can finally share The Golden Cage with you. The Golden Cage, an inspirational musical film that encourages self-reflection and inspires you to pursue your dreams, is for anyone, regardless of age.

Watch The Golden Cage and enjoy the thought-provoking and heartwarming experience. Share in the emotions, the triumphs, and the joy that this film brings and create lasting memories with your loved ones.
