She
was one of my earliest inspirations (anyone who ever was a little girl

The
Grammy award-winning San Francisco Ballet Orchestra collaborated with
me on this recording, made at Skywalker Sound with Adam Abeshouse
producing. The album comes out on Clara's 200th birthday, Sept. 13, but
you can pre-order it now, and you can enjoy this pre-release music video, available exclusively on Apple Music! I hope you love this record as much as I loved making it.
If you're in the New York area, please join me at National Sawdust on Clara's birthday, September 13, for a very special album launch concert celebrating this recording and
