Performance with Mauro Castillo at Lang Lang Gala

It was a privilege and a blast to perform with Mauro Castillo from the cast of Disney’s “Encanto” at Lang Lang’s Fall Gala 2022 and Birthday Bash!

GRAMMY Salute to Classical Music at Carnegie Hall

It was a particularly moving concert as half of the audience filling the Issac Stern Hall were children brought in to share the event!
