Random Musical Thoughts: "I would vote for Bach, all of Bach, streamed out into space, over and over again. We would be bragging, of course, but it is surely excusable to put the best possible face on at the beginning of such an acquaintance." (Lewis Thomas) "Mozart tells us what it's like to be human, Beethoven tells us what it's like to be Beethoven, and Bach tells us what it's like to be the universe." (Douglas Adams)

I recently purchased your "American Virtuosa: Tribute to Maud Powell" CD, and absolutely fell in love with your rendition of "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen," by John Rosamond Johnson. I have looked and looked, but I have not been able to locate the violin sheet music. If you have a moment, could you possibly recommend a site at which I could buy that particular arrangement?” Donors555 writes: Amazing performance of Dvorak’s Humoresque on YouTube, it was very cool. :) Can anyone send me, or tell where to get notation please?”

Jesus Florido, Asturias by Albeniz arr. Rachel Barton Pine

Inquiries from my Inbox: Penelope asks, "How many concerts  a  year do you play? Just wondering..."

Random Musical Thought: Teaching artist Eric Booth writes: "Entertainment happens within what you already know. Underneath its many features that inspire, delight, frighten, sadden us, it confirms our sense of the way the world is. That's the whole point of entertainment- to stimulate and affirm- and it's often done brilliantly. The artistic experience had better not be opposed to this, or we are in big trouble. Art also stimulates and affirms, but it happens outside of what we already know; art enlarges our sense of the works- it expands our sense of the possible."

Rush by Augusta Read Thomas, Aires de Tango by Jose Serebrier, Epitalamio tanguero by Luis Jorge Gonzalez, Six and a Half Variations by Fred Onovwerosuoke, Vaynshl No. 1 by Yale Strom, Thrash by Philip Pan, Theme and Variations by Edgar Gabriel (world premiere!), Ballada Espagnola arranged by Jesus Florido, Asturias by Isaac Albeniz arranged by Rachel Barton Pine.
