"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen nor even touched, but just felt in the heart.-Helen Keller
My goal is to provide passionate piano accompaniment while allowing the soloist to shine. An excellent collaborative accompanist possesses strong sight-reading skills and and highlights every nuance the soloist displays in their performance. This detailed and expressive accompanying can only be accomplished by listening and following the soloist. The soloist and accompanist form the ultimate musical partnership. You also need to possess a trained ear, i.e. being able to tell whether the soloist is sharp or flat. Additionally, a collaborative pianist needs to account for breathing, especially when you are collaborating with wind and vocal soloists.
