Experience

Stretto Piano Concerts

2023 - Present

Chicago Ambassador

2023 - Present
I am working alongside Stretto Piano Concert founder, Hannah Reimann, to create concert opportunities on stretto pianos. The ultimate goal is to help bring awareness of stretto pianos (pianos with a narrower keyboard), and encourage piano manufacturers to provide them as an alternative to the standard sized keyboard. This is especially important as 80% of women have a smaller than standard hand size, and in order to make the playing field equal, stretto pianos need to be mainstream.

I curate a recital series devoted to the maintenance and restoration of the Scarab Club of Detroit's 1879 Pleyel Piano. On this unique salon series, artists enjoy performing works by composers of the 18th and 19th century, which are a perfect fit for this instrument. Audience members enjoy an intimate salon experience in the historic Scarab Club.
