“By wrapping honest emotions around her socially conscious messages and dynamically delivering them with a warm heart and a strong voice, she lifted our spirits just when we need it most in these troubled times” – Erik Philbrook, NewSong Music Festival and Performance Competition judge

A prolific lyricist and composer, Matthews has found inspiration in her surroundings; from driving through the Blue Ridge Mountains to the compelling and heart-breaking love story of Richard and Mildred Loving. Thoughtful, realistic and emotional, Matthews’ songs speak to the voice of our generation and remind us why music indeed soothes the soul.

“De Profundis demands a combination of virtuoso technique and a total lack of inhibition. This was a gripping and moving performance…a living thing on stage…this was an ideal meeting of composer and interpreter, and a unique and wonderful experience.” – New York Classical Review

Pianist Anthony de Mare is one of the world’s foremost champions of contemporary music. Known for his entrepreneurial performance projects, he offers a program highlighting some of America’s most progressive composers, the techniques and styles of which illuminate more innovative approaches to the piano. The works treat issues of social conscience, justice, civil rights and the media. Each piece is sculpted to tell its own individual story, contributing to the fabric of our national narrative. In addition, the program features the monumental work De Profundis by Frederic Rzewski, based on a text by Oscar Wilde – an oratorio for speaking-singing pianist, the genre de Mare pioneered more than 30 years ago.
