Fall Greetings! I want to update you on my musical life as it unfolds in these last few months of 2009. First and foremost, I continue to learn and premiere new repertoire. In keeping current with contemporary music, I feel better equipped to formulate interesting ideas for students as well as to inspire or perhaps re-kindle their attention towards today's emerging composers.
	So I have been pouring much of my energy for new music into Access To Music which was launched in the Twin Cities. Last season, with the invaluable support of the HARC Foundation (http://harcfoundation.org), I performed an ATM concert in Los Angeles featuring local composer Peter Knell. It is gratifying to know that ATM's measured beginnings are giving it strong roots on which to grow. This season, I am also concentrating on the celebration of Robert Schumann's upcoming 200th birthday with concerts and a recording of his Kreisleriana Opus 16, as well as Clara's Opus 20 and Brahms' Opus 9 sets of variations, both using Schumann's F# Minor Albumblatter as their themes. Mario Berlinguer's remarkable Variations on a very familiar Schumann tune (which I won't divulge here) are included. I send my best wishes for a productive and prosperous fall season, and as always, I welcome hearing from you whenever you might have a thought to share. Liz
