First post! Popping in to say hi 👋 and welcome you to our new Instagram account, brought to you by the AGMA members of the Philharmonia Baroque Chorale. We’re so excited to share an inside look at life as a PBO Chorale member—rehearsals, takeovers, upcoming performances, and so much more. Be sure to follow along!

We’re currently deep in preparations for Baroque Garlands, featuring the Chorale in Rameau’s La Guirlande and Handel’s Dixit Dominus. We’re all charm and elegance in the Rameau—but the Handel unleashes our full choral power, vitality, and virtuosity. This is a concert you won’t want to miss!

📍 February 6 | San Francisco
📍 February 7 | Berkeley (SOLD OUT)
📍 February 8 | Palo Alto

🎟 Tickets: philharmonia.org/2025-26-season/baroque-garlands/

We hope to see you there!

Just before Thanksgiving I spent four days in the @tiny.telephone recording studios with @turas.ensemble (@bethanyhlll & @vafraser) and @in.sta.matt for their new project, my first time back in the producer’s chair in a very long while. After decades of watching so many extraordinary producers work — especially Judy Sherman, whose sessions I’ve been lucky to sit in on more times than I can count — I tried to carry some of those lessons into the studio with me. Judy’s ears are legendary of course, but what has always struck me as extraordinary is her ability to hold a space in which artists can be their most creative, energized, and focused, for an extended period of time. I hope I brought a little bit of that spirit into the room.

This project is a beautiful and moving blend of the fully notated and the fully improvised, which meant the sessions swung delightfully between precision and discovery. Over the course of the sessions Turas and Matt built, day by day, layer by layer, an intimate and imaginative story world that came ever more in focus.

It was a pleasure to be supporting that work, along with our incredibly agile and adaptable engineer @george_corytodd, and guest musicians harpist @lizgobbomusic and cellist @lewispatzner, who transformed the materials they were given in totally unexpected and inspiring ways.

Many thanks to Turas and Matt for thinking of me for this project! I can’t wait for people to hear this project when it’s ready.

Studio time with @turas.ensemble and @in.sta.matt at @tiny.telephone for our musical project, Book of Spells.

A wild, joyous, blissful time of making music with dear friends in the warmest of spaces.

Supported and encouraged by our superstar producer @sidneychenarts and our rockstar sound guy @george_corytodd

We couldn’t have got to this stage without generous funding from @intermusicsf either
