Sheila Weidendorf
Bio in Brief//
Something of an "accidental pianist," I returned to music a few years ago after a 20-year hiatus. I perform western classical chamber music, extemporaneous keyboard meditations (such as my new album, We Are Luminous) have also been known to provide musical direction for theatrical productions.
I currently perform regularly with my classical trio, Trio Rasa; my improvisational trio, Trio Improviso; my new whimsical and expansive collaboration with cellist/composer Gideon Freudmann called CelloPiano; and have also been immersed in a long-term and ongoing Brahms project with violinist Tekla Cunningham and remain ever eager to continually broaden my musical horizons.

Trio Improviso Described by Author David L. Laing:
Medieval Jazz--
Their code is the mode, not as in fashion but compassion
for Oneness! In Medieval taperstry the observer is woven
into its background--thee is no separate outside nor inside--
the perspective is introspective. In this Mystical Journey Trio
you are the "fourth" con brio. Suspend your time and place
to experience this mind-sending acoustical space as both
traveler and the traveled...
