Being named winner of the 2017 American Pianists Awards renews my faith in my ability to share the very best of classical piano music with Indianapolis, America, and the world. The prestige of this fabulous organization and the significant career opportunities remind me that my work as an artist is still valued in today's world. It is a privilege to share with so many something very personal to me – my passion for music. APA helps me reach the world, and music can only make the world a better place.
