Meet the Artists

Greetings!
How fortunate I am to have this opportunity to record with my dad for a second time! My love for music has been increasing over the years, and I continue to appreciate this gift more and more as I practice daily. I try to put my feelings into the piece so it sounds more mature and, of course, better and better. I am additionally forever grateful for my parents supporting me with outstanding lessons, and encouraging me to practice even when I don't feel like it.

Finally, I would like to thank my listeners for your kind words of encouragement, whether it is through letters, e-mails or in person...it means a great deal to me. Once again, thank you for giving me the opportunity to play for you, and may you have many wonderful years to come.

After the overwhelming response to our first recording together, Concert Favorites, now comes one year later, Encore!...more Concert Favorites. As you might imagine, both Robyn and I are so proud of our 16 year old son, Daniel, and his remarkable abilities. His love of music shines so brightly, as the notes simply pour out of his heart. I am sure you will agree with me that his progress is quite pronounced from one year ago.

Personally, having the opportunity to continue to perform for live audiences across the country and in Canada has been a major blessing in my life. To me, doing what I love to do and witness how music personally touches the audience is beyond what any words can express. The pieces were selected from my solo concert repertoire, and I hope you enjoy the variety of arrangements. My goal is simple for each concert - that when the last note has sounded, each of you feels better than when the performance began. It is my heartfelt desire that this remains true for each of you when you have finished listening to Encore!
With continued best wishes, always...
