Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is one of my favorite holidays and times of year! The leaves have turned, the air is crisp and everyone is enjoying the last warm days of the season. I for one, am kind of looking forward to the first snow fall. But, before I break out the Christmas lights, I’ll be checking out this year’s Hallow’s Eve parade in the Village! (By the way, for those of you who don’t know, the Village is the coolest part of NYC — a mon avis– and I plan to reside there…. if only in my dreams.)
New York is amazing and so full of life! There is always something happening be it a concert, a party or just a walk Central Park. I am constantly finding new nooks, crannies, cafe’s and just plain beautiful snapshots of life. Needless to say, my sensory system is still on overload and most likely will be until this time next year.
At the moment, I am preparing a few new works for performance, namely Derrick Wang’s cello sonata which will be performed at Ars Nova this November 16 with Wei-Jen Yuan, pianist extraordinaire (please see the Schedule Page for details on all upcoming concerts). Following that I will be working on a few recording projects and making a few guest appearances here and there—-stay tuned for an update of my concert with the Bang on a Can All Stars!
I’ll have more for you in the coming weeks, including some new audio/video clips and who knows, maybe some wacky Halloween pics to boot!
Enjoy the day, enjoy the weather and the people around you!
Be well,
Ashley

Hello Ashley Bathgate,
I really appreciate your website with all the great music that you perform on your cello! I hope you will visit our country and give us a concert. When and if you come I will certainly be there to listen to the wonderful sound of your cello.
On youtube I go by the name of amantediopera or amantdopera
I wish you all success for the future.
with love erik

We are old friends of Doblins and listened to you and loved your playing when you were much younger. We now enjoyed your web concert. Much luck for the future, the Schottmans.
