I am applying for funding to commission 5 distinguished composers to write new works, inspired by “the beautiful game”, for my upcoming GOAT performance and recording project. A diverse group of composers will write pieces for piano (with voice, toy piano, percussion, and electronics) that I will premiere, tour, and then record for my 4th commercially released CD. My debut Reference Recordings album Woman at the New Piano: American Music of 2013 was nominated for 58th GRAMMY® Awards in 3 categories: Best Classical Compendium, Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance, and Producer of the Year, Classical.
