My projects in partnership with The Shedd have nearly all been built upon a theme, a narrative arc -- whether that be a kind of retrospective biography or, around a central idea. There's a beautiful structure and grounding to this approach. I like the sense of story of my past Shedd shows. I got curious, nevertheless, about how it would feel to perform a set of music not tethered to a set narrative. How about performing music that I love but that for whatever reason remain un-sung, and in a file folder in my piano bench, marked “for future.”
