2018 has been a rollercoaster of concerts, travels and joyful collaborations ... and it's only the beginning of March!
Here you can take a look at what's happened so far, and which exciting performances and publications are coming up... assuming current snowy and icy conditions let me travel. Hope to see you at one of them!
Yours,
Gwendolyn
