Hi everybody! Once again welcome to my website! I am very excited to be sharing news about my upcoming events with you.
Currently, I am a student of Aldo Parisot at the Yale University School of Music. This is my third and final year at Yale and I must say it has been one of the greatest experiences on all levels. It’s not every day that one has the opportunity to work with so many talented and eager musicians of the same age, as well as some of the most distinguished professors in the biz. I will carry their contributions with me always.
On January 26th, I will be giving my final degree recital at the University in Sprague Memorial Hall. The program will include works by Brahms, Beethoven, Debussy and Martino. Hope you can be there with all my friends to celebrate a wonderful time spent at Yale!
Subsequently, I will be giving my debut recital at Carnegie Hall on February 9th in Weill Hall. As you can imagine I am extremely excited about this opportunity to play on such a prestigious stage. It will be a solo recital with pianist Todd Crow, who is AMAZING, by the way! I met him during my Bard College years and we gave a few concerts together at Vassar, where he is a music professor.
In between recitals I am keeping busy with the hustle and bustle of school, chamber music, Philharmonia, and an introduction to composition with Ezra Laderman, which is allowing me to indulge my inner pop star. 
I will also be working with two trios this semester playing Tchaikovsky’s a minor and Mendelssohn’s c minor piano trios, both of which I am eager to start. In addition, my friends and I will be giving a “Concerto Night” at Yale University’s Sudler (William Harkness) Hall on the 29th of March.
Not sure of the program but it will include everything romantic as well as contemporary for your liking. Noelia, one of my best friends and favorite violists will be gracing the stage with her Spanish flare whilst the Italian Stallion, Nick DiEugenio sears our hearts with his magnificent violin playing. T’will be a night to remember, indeed!
Don’t forget to check out my recent audio/video clips. The majority are from my Master’s Recital last February with pianists Wei-Jen Yuan and Hye-Yeon Park. And the rest are blasts from the past, so to speak, which I hope you will enjoy as well!
Well I think that about covers it for now so until next time, be well, stay warm and enjoy everything that the New Year will bring!
Much Love,
Ashley

Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain,
Waiting for the lost one that comes not again.
Oh! I long for Jeanie, and my heart bows low,
Never more to find here where the bright waters flow.
Thank you for remembering her in this most beautiful way Ashley, and my heartfelt best wishes for a spectacular evening on the 9th…”BRAVO”

Very nice website! The audio/video page is very generous, a lot for me to listen to! and the site is easy to navigate and nice to look at. I won’t be able to make it to the Jan. 26th recital since it’s either during sabbath, or during a gamelan concert I’m playing in. But I’ll try to scramble down to the city after sundown on the 9th.

Ashley,
Your Dad told me about your new website, which is great. He also told sent me an electronic copy of the flyer for your 2/9 Weill concert. I wish I could be there, but I will be sending you good vibes from the other side of planet earth.
All good luck always,
Eric B.

Whoa, you sound A-M-A-Z-I-N-G - is that the Gagliano you were telling me about before? Your playing has matured light years since I last heard you like… 8 years ago? Looks like you have an extremely bright future ahead of you in music - all the best!
Do you ever stop through ol’ NY anymore? We ought to play something for old times’ sake along with Gillian and my sis (though I’m sure you and Gillian are leaps and bounds ahead of me skill-wise by now).
Later!
Ben
P.S. I noticed your channel on YouTube, which is how I ended up here
