💌 An Exclusive Invitation


Where Souls Find Sanctuary

Dear Reader,

The last time I wrote to you I was grumbling over rainy (and cold) weather, but today I'm writing while the sun is shining and we are experiencing a balmy 57 degrees in southeastern PA! ☀️ Today my family visited the migrating snow geese at Middle Creek Wildlife Preserve, which for us, always marks the faint emergence of spring. March is finally here and spring is right around the corner - so much to be excited about and grateful for. Speaking of which...

Frances and I are so excited to share with you the fact that we have now raised over $100,000 for our London Symphony Project! 🤯 Instead of me writing about it, check out this video with our newest details and updates:

An Exclusive Invitation 💌

As you just heard, while we make our way to the $130,000 goal, we are working on securing a few major donors. This leads us to our exclusive invitation to those who might be interested. We will be able to bring a few folks with us to Abbey Road to witness the London Symphony Orchestra record their orchestral parts! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and if you are interested, you can find the details in the application below. If you would like to be considered, please fill out the form. All details are there. Seating is very limited. Applications are due by March 6 and we will notify applicants on March 11.

The LSO Will See You 👀

We currently have 195 donors and we'd love to push past 200! We recently found out that we will have a minute or so to speak to the orchestra before they start their recording day. Frances and I have plans to print out our list of donors and show them the entire community who helped support us these past 3 years! Cue the scroll...

Campaign Deadline: April 1

Our crowdfunding campaign on Give A Hand will end on April 1st. We are eager to wrap up all of our fundraising BEFORE we board the plane for London! After that, our mission is to hunker down in the practice room (maybe the reed room for me) until we head for Nashville this summer to Wrap. It. Up.

With gratitude,
Kirstin & Frances

Their unique and contemplative sound takes the listener on a journey that resonates long after their performances. ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ Their first album, Midwinter’s Gift, was recorded in 2022 in Nashville, TN and in November of that same year it was nationally recognized by reaching #13 on Billboard’s “Classical-Crossover” chart. A few months later, it was nominated by the Central Pennsylvania Hall of Fame for “Best Instrumental Album of the Year” and was also awarded “Best Classical-Crossover Album” of 2022. ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ Fast forward to 2026 - now you can join an exciting new adventure that provides sanctuary to souls and spreads the joy of music worldwide. Frances and Kirstin, along with Nashville’s Phillip Keveren, are collaborating to create a remarkable follow-up to Midwinter’s Gift. With Keveren’s renowned arranging and production skills, and the London Symphony Orchestra’s recording prowess, Double Keyed is already in the process of crafting a second captivating instrumental Christmas album. As of March 2026, they now have a date with the LSO! On April 9 of this year, the LSO will be recording their parts for the album. The trajectory is for a November 2026 release.

Where Souls Find Sanctuary Dear Reader, March is MS Awareness Month! Have you wondered why we chose MS FitEffect as our charitable partner for our London Symphony Orchestra project? In our most recent blog post, I share my personal connection to Multiple Sclerosis and the story behind our partnership with MS FitEffect. What began as a dream to record with the London Symphony Orchestra has become something deeper - a project rooted in purpose, hope, and support for families impacted by MS. "It...

Where Souls Find Sanctuary Dear Reader, Welcome to spring! This season always brings with it a fresh perspective and the comfort of renewed hope. This certainly isn't lost on Frances and I as we approach the London Symphony recording session at Abbey Road Studios - which is now a mere 20 days away. What some people don't know is that Abbey Road does not open itself up to the public. Tours are not a "thing". While you can go there and take pictures of the outside and of the famous walkway that...

Where Souls Find Sanctuary Dear Reader, Well, here we are - in the middle of the bleak midwinter (I feel like someone should write a song about that… 🤔). On this rainy Pennsylvania day, I’m wishing for sunshine - and also remembering that sometimes we have to create our own. Speaking of which, we recently had the pleasure of joining Jennet Ingle (oboist/entrepreneur) on her podcast Crushing Classical to share the story behind Double Keyed. In this conversation, we talk about how we first...
