On Saturday morning I’m playing a children’s concert presented by the Seattle Chamber Music Society which features Peter Schickele’s (aka PDQ Bach) The Emperor’s New Clothes. It’s a fun piece for narrator and mixed ensemble, and is my first chance since 1995 to perform with pianist Paige Roberts Molloy, with whom I last played chamber music at the Tanglewood Music Center (Brahms Piano Quartet in G minor, coached by Leon Fleischer). I’m looking forward to this a lot!

Your friend Paige did a beautiful job playing with James Ehnes and Augustin Hadelich last week. It was an obscure piece, or at least new to us: Suite for Two Violins and Piano in G minor, Op. 71 by Moritz Moszkowski.
