“Übung macht den Meister!”

Last night, the European Piano Academy of Atlanta gathered at Steinway Piano Galleries of Atlanta for our Spring Recital.

Twenty-two pianists. Nearly two hours of music ranging from a child's first stage to advanced literature. Each student walked to the Steinway & Sons grand piano D-274 and made it their own, and each one was met by a full house of families, friends, and fellow musicians who understood that an evening like this is built one practice session at a time.

There is a moment, every recital, when a student takes a breath before the first note and the room breathes with them. We had that moment twenty-two times last night.

My gratitude to Steinway Piano Galleries Atlanta for the platform, to the families who make this academy possible, and above all to the students. You were the evening.

Until the next one.

This room. These people.
After Dvořák, after Bazzini, after the wine…we stood here and nobody wanted to leave.
That’s the whole point.
Thank you to every single person who came, and to our extraordinary guests Miroslav Ambroš and Zuzana Ambrošova Until next time. 🙏

Dvořák’s Sonatine in my living room.
Some music you hear in concert halls. Some music finds you differently — up close, breathing the same air as the musicians, feeling every bow change.
This was one of those afternoons.
Opus & Wine: Czechia in Atlanta brought violinist Miroslav Ambroš and pianist Zuzana Ambrošova into our home — and they left us completely undone. The Sonatine, Bazzini’s Dance of the Goblins, Czech wines by Spevak, chlebíčky, věnečky, and twenty-something people who all felt, by the end, like old friends.
Gratitude to the Honorary Consulate of the Czech Republic in Georgia .consulatecz_atlanta and the Czech-Slovak School of Atlanta for making this collaboration possible — and to the incomparable .
