Blair Fairchild Violin Sonata
No. 1
This recording holds a special place in my heart.
It’s the first-ever recording of this sonata by the virtually-forgotten composer Blair Fairchild—and I recorded it while 9 months pregnant with my son, Cyrus. I had to learn to adjust my bowing to avoid bumping into the baby, but it was sweet to feel like he was part of it.

Sileo Quartet - Szymanowski String Quartet No. 2
We performed this piece by Polish composer Karol Szymanowski during Sileo’s 2022 tour in Warsaw, Poland.
Sponsored by the Chopin Institute, we were honored to perform on their stage and immerse ourselves in Poland’s rich culture, delicious food, and beautiful landscapes.

Chuke Williams
- Hollow Reed
Chuke and I met at Vanderbilt and bonded over music, faith, and friendship that’s lasted beyond graduation.
We’ve worked together on recording projects and live shows in Nashville, and later reunited in Atlanta to record “Hollow Reed” and a few other tracks. His beautiful, meaningful songwriting continues to inspire me.

Harry Styles - As It Was
Both of us being regulars at the Caroga Lake Music Festival allowed me to have the opportunity to work with the brilliant Ken Kubota a couple times over the past several years. His innovative approach and spirit of true collaboration is very inspiring and I’m grateful to be part of his work.
