Celebrating the end of the year with a graduate Piano Performance class after a wonderful group of performances at the Juilliard School.

Student Xiaotian Xu at his graduation program, which included works by Ravel (“textured and nuanced and lovely” says Orli) & Liszt (“powerful and passionate and well-paced"). Because he started school in the midst of the pandemic, Xu’s early lessons were over Zoom with a Yamaha Disklavier in separate rooms.

Student Jesse Hubbs makes his orchestral debut with the Little Orchestra Society led by David Alan Miller. Bringing it full circle, LOS was Orli’s first professional gig as a child in 1985, and she performed with David Alan Miller over 30 years ago in Albany.
