Such a memorable time in Seattle! Sincere thanks to the Bellevue Symphony & @yelenabnova for welcoming me for my first time playing the firepower Saint-Saëns 2nd Concerto 🔥 It was tons of fun to perform with you all last month, & I’m looking forward to being back! Until next time 🙂

Truly an honor to perform Sunday night with @ostrconcerts & Alain Trudel who were absolutely incredible in the lesser-played (but just as awesome) Rachmaninoff First Concerto – and to take home the Third Prize 🥉 at the inaugural Sorel-Tracy International Piano Competition!

Big congrats to all the competitors & finalists – and huge thanks (& happy birthday 🥳) to my host Danielle Joyal for making it such a beautiful stay in Berthierville. À prochaine fois!

Comprised of faculty from @theroyalconservatory’s Glenn Gould School, the ARC Ensemble is among Canada’s most distinguished cultural ambassadors. Performing a wide range of music, its focus remains the research and recovery of previously unknown works that were suppressed and marginalized under the 20th century’s repressive regimes.

And just like that…my piano is home! I’m so happy it gets to live in the amazing @building.mars (many Music on Mars concerts coming!) 🤩 Thank you, @studio_lau @eyestudio.ca!!

For those who may not know, this 1895 Steinway piano & I found each other through a very special audience member named Natalie who offered me this piano & its restoration after a concert in 2017 @musicatmenlo. It’s a beautiful story, & I’m crazy lucky to have it. After leaving it in NYC in 2018 for a few years with @catherinecho (thank you!), it finally made its way up to Toronto recently & I’m so happy to be reunited with it. Welcome home! 🇨🇦🎹

Thank you, @rosedalepianomovers, for an awesome & seamless move this morning!
