“Each movement of this work was inspired by paintings of the patron, herself; the piece is a collection of portraits of portraits.”

The recital will also include Mozart’s Fantasy in C minor, Debussy’s L’Isle Joyeuse, and Chopin’s Sonata No. 3.  Hope to see you there!

IR: Can you give a few quick examples of successful experiences you’ve had with social media?

GN: One of the most surprising discoveries that came about from my foray into social media has been meeting so many people who enjoy and like classical music, but are in many ways intimidated and frightened of it. This feeling has led many of them to not attend their local symphony orchestra concert, or to support the classical arts in their community. By connecting with them through social media, answering some of their questions, sharing aspects of my life and my creative process, I hope to bring classical music closer to them. I have also had artists in other creative fields connect with me and say that they realized something about their own work by reading something I wrote. This is really wonderful because it means that social media can also be used as a means of education, and as a means of contributing something to the arts in a way that extends far beyond me. There is a great satisfaction and fulfillment in that.
