Dear Music Friends, 
  
October leaves are falling, Autumn is in its full swing, so are we! We hope you are too!  
  |  
 
I am still marvelling over my 65th birthday year, which started on July 31. I’m so grateful for the wonderful memories of my life, traveling to so many places and sharing my music. The best has yet to come!

The falling leaves we saw, riding our bikes to the ADE (Amsterdam Dance Event) Lab workshops in mid-October, inspired us to create new music, and we are eager to share it with you! We're already playing some of these pieces live, but we plan to record them in a studio and release them on streaming platforms, and perhaps on CD or LP albums!
