PROGRAM NOTES: “I breaThed a song into The air, it fell to earth I knew not where.” Ten years ago, I wrote a composition called Always Keep This Close with little idea of where it would go or what it would come to mean for oThers. To find that song living in The hearts of oTher musicians is both humbling and surprising. For me, it’s a reminder of how powerful our actions and words can be. Something that feels insignificant to one person can be life-changing to anoTher. While creating The Heart of a Friend, I knew from The start that I wanted to shape a melodic arc that captured The trajectory of both The arrow and The song.

How I wrote The composition Hope to process a miscarriage, or how I wrote I Will Lift My Eyes at a time when multiple family members, both young and old, were being diagnosed with cancer. No matter life’s challenges, music has always been an outlet for me to cope and heal. It has helped me to persevere and fight through some of life's most difficult moments, ultimately making me a stronger person. The world can be a challenging place, but each of us are warriors—armed with The gift to sing, and filled with The fire, passion, drive, and grit to conquer anything.
