👏🏼 Are We Supposed to Applaud?

Where Souls Find Sanctuary Dear Reader, The great thing about my relationship with Frances is that she is always giving me a new perspective. She is probably one of the most observant and reflective people I know, and with myself being someone who tends to rush from one thing to the next to “get it all done,” she is a great Yin to my Yang (The Yin-Yangs — new group name? 😅). Case in point: her latest blog. As a lifelong musician, I honestly never reflected much on applause other than when I...

Where Souls Find Sanctuary Dear Reader, Frances and I are still trying to find the words. It's now been almost a month since our London Symphony and Abbey Road experience and it has certainly taken a bit to recover from not only jet-lag, but the emotional experience that London was. We are happy to share that it WAS everything we had hoped for - and more. Walking into Abbey Road, knowing that the London Symphony Orchestra was about to record the orchestral parts for our Christmas album…it...

Where Souls Find Sanctuary Dear Reader, Happy Easter, if you celebrate!To be honest, getting ready for a major holiday has been one of the last things on my mind lately. Preparing for our London trip while running life and business as usual made an Easter egg hunt and big dinner feel way down the list. Thankfully, my wonderful mother-in-law saved the day - and we had a great holiday because of it. There’s a lot of behind-the-scenes work that goes into a project like this—and I’m not even...

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, 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...

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...

Where Souls Find Sanctuary Dear Reader, During a time of constant news and social media noise, I’ve felt the need to share an uplifting story I’ve been holding onto.

Where Souls Find Sanctuary Dear Reader, With a snowstorm on the horizon, we wanted to share some light reading for the quieter days ahead.
