Hey everyone,
I would have loved to go to the Manhattan intensive just to reconnect with the folks I met in Adamant, let alone the fantastic program. Unfortunately, work etc.... So it will have to be the next version for me.
However I am still inspired by everything I learned in Vermont, so not really having a pity party!!
Would love to hear about this event and how it all turned out.

Hey Ken Locke ! It would have been great to see you there. We had a blast: fantastic teaching, great friendships, beautiful playing. Looking forward to the next occasion - will keep you updated!

Ken Locke Hi Ken,
The NYC event was incredible. I was so glad I was able to attend. Very different ambiance from VT but another great group of people from all over the world. Lessons with Noah, Dominic, and Sarah were deeply insightful, as was attending so many lessons. Master Classes were all excellent. The final concert on the Yamaha concert grand was a joy. The house concert with Nicolas Namoradze performing Scriabin with lights and wine paired to the pieces was worth the trip alone. And meeting Stephen Hough wan an honor. I look forward to the next offering. For me, this is a really deeply helpful and enjoyable way to make progress at many levels.
