Janey’s co-ed pickup chamber music – A series born on my front lawn during the pandemic as I was desperate to play with others. It evolved into a (slightly) more structured series at the cell theatre where we read, discuss, explore chamber music with a live, interactive audience. Ask me how we can bring this immersive experience to you!
Ardelia Trio – Juilliard-trained musicians who are committed to sharing their love of chamber music through interactive and engaging performances. We specialize in bridging the gap between audiences and artists, in traditional and community settings. Please use the Contact page to inquire about bringing us to your community.
Music + Art – I love the idea of different art forms intermingling. I also love working on projects with friends. After years of playing soccer with my friend ‘el capitan’ Robert in Central Park, we decided to work on this project where he would create works based on a chamber music program that I would perform. We’re always looking for more venues, so please reach out if you have a presentation space.
Leonia Chamber Musicians – A group which represents the perfect intersection of my loves of chamber music, community, and easy commuting. So glad to have found a musical home so close to my actual home!
Creative Stage Collective – A featured guest at Carnegie Hall Family Day, CSC brings together kids and high level adult artists—to create and perform original works based on the imaginative ideas of children. Through these innovative pieces, we aim to connect our audiences to the joy of storytelling, the power of live theater, and the thrill of excellence.
Storytime Quartet – Presenting engaging, interactive children’s concerts, our elementary school programs are an exciting blend of classical and world music with narrated storytelling and history lessons.
Thomas/Ortiz Dance – Ted Thomas & I met late one night on the streets of Spoleto, Italy where we were both performing for the international Spoleto Festival dei Due Mondi (he was in the Paul Taylor Dance Co, I was in the Festival Orchestra). From our friendship blossomed this collaboration: Musical Director to his modern dance company.
Wired Strings – I met Rosie in 2005 when Kanye West was looking for an all-female string section to back him up for Live 8 in Philadelphia. Years later, I have worked with her in collaborations with Adele, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Enya and Frank Ocean at Radio City Music Hall, Royal Albert Hall (London), on the Today Show, The Grammys, the Late Show with David Letterman and Saturday Night Live.
Shpongle Live – I joined this English psychedelic downtempo/psybient band at Camp Bisco 2011 with a human slinky, contortionist, hula-hooper… in a windy downpour! It was a partying, muddy mess! Since then, we have done bi-coastal Halloween shows within 24hrs of each other, and a sold-out debut at Red Rocks 2014 (in a hazy snowfall, of course!). Our final 2019 Red Rocks shows included belly dancers, zebras, aerialists, live painting, furry onesies, and a giant inflatable spaceman.
