His collaboration with France native Marina Pacowski, a celebrated pianist and jazz vocalist known for her vibrant playing and passionate artistry, creates a dynamic and alluring musical partnership. This recital program will showcase the composers from the album including Rachel Portman, Jordan Jinosko, Mieke Doezema, Mason Bynes, Amy Beach and more.
