\"\"<\/a>I met Rachel Arnold (update: now Barringer) and Ashley Addington a year ago at a big Vortex concert in Cambridge, MA. They played a dynamic performance of Elliott Carter\u2019s ‘Enchanted Preludes’. They\u2019ve played lots of new music, including music by Guild member and composer Charles Turner. They play a premiere every time I see them.<\/p>\n

Last May, Rachel played a beautiful performance of my solo cello piece Soliloquy at an Advent Church Library concert, curated by Matt Samolis (also a Guild member supporting my collaboration with Rachel and Ashley). We had a musically expressive and lovely rehearsal in my living room. I was frustrated to miss the concert, but a family emergency kept me away.<\/p>\n

Rachel is also an amazing yoga person and instructor. She\u2019s got some elegant photos on her web site combining cello and yoga — so much more flexible than I am! Check out http:\/\/www.ladyraycello.com<\/a>. You\u2019ll also find her concert calendar there.<\/p>\n

I love Rachel\u2019s little sculptures and jewelry that she makes out of polymer clay and other materials. She\u2019s a whimsical and clever artist with many colorful and funny creations. Last year, she sold her work on Etsy as a fundraiser for Haiti. Read more about it on her blog http:\/\/ladyraycello.blogspot.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank you, Rachel, for being a participant in my music-writing for 2012!<\/p>\n
