Putting my flutist hat back on (and popping briefly back onto socials!) to share that our new trio, Ensemble Geschichte, is performing our debut Musical Reading on Saturday, 13. Juni at 20Uhr. If you're in Berlin, please come by!

📚 My partner Alex will be reading Ray Bradbury's wonderful short story "The Toynbee Convector," alongside music by @valerie_coleman_music , Haydn, and Mozart. Doesn't get better than that!

Donation-basis; Please RSVP at service@otherland-berlin.de

❤️ It has been such a joy to play with @lydiaplayscello and @zossiemusic , and we are grateful to have been received so warmly by the Berlin literary community. Getting to take photos at @saintgeorgesbookshop was a dream, and we can't wait to perform at @otherlandbookshop next week. Otherland is the first place I thought of for this event and I was overjoyed when they agreed to host us. 🤩 See you there!
