Don’t mind me....just standing, slack-jawed and drooling, in front of the soft, stinky, unpasteurized cheese portion of the cheese counter. #yule #cypressgrove #cowgirlcreamery @provisionsbrooklyn
This is 39.5 weeks going to see some of my students’ presentations at Mannes for the penultimate voice ped class of the semester. I had a contingency plan in case I couldn’t make this class, but frankly I’m happy to have somewhere to go for a couple of hours! #yule #mannesschoolofmusic
Started....waiting for Red to get home to adjust the dimensions and depth of lights, and then assemble the ornaments. Our little guy will be too small to truly appreciate it, but it will make our homebound weeks much cozier! #yule
Can’t think of a more fitting performance conclusion before this baby break than a concert of a truly amazing piece at Carnegie Hall with the best colleagues and friends. (I was comfortably-equipped with a stool and well-situated behind the drums so our guy could surely hear AND feel every vibration..) Feels like I’ve been pushing through—last few days were certainly a physical challenge. While it would have been *interesting* to go into active labor when we were singing “heat heat heat heat heat heat heat heat and PRESSURE,” I’m glad our dude abided. I love what I do (can you tell I don’t want to stop working:) and I love our community so much—happy December madness to all of you and see you on the other side! #juliawolfe #anthracitefields #bangonacanallstars #trinitywallstreet #zankelhall #nyc @carnegiehall @bangonacan @sarahenb5
I guess if I have to put my feet up....this little guy is more than happy to keep me company. Red has finally urged me to slow down and other than concerts tonight and tomorrow night (would be kind of memorable to go into labor at Carnegie Hall—could be a new answer to the age old question “how does one get to CH? be born there?”, and church Sunday morning, I’ve stopped the gym (walks instead) and will cease all other activity until the dude arrives. #catsofinstagram #homestretch #39weekspregnant
I love being the proud wife. Red and Jeff Gavett gave a truly extraordinary, expressive, super creative, technically astute, and virtuosic performance of Wolfgang Mitterer’s “Im Sturm” (2005) at the @acfny which presented the concert with @ensemblesignal last night. Here’s a pic of the post-concert talk back with Brad Lubman and Wolfgang Mitterer as well as Jeff and Red—it was magic and the audience was enthralled. #electronics #preparedpiano #baritone #schubert #lieder You can catch Signal playing more Mitterer tonight at St. Peter’s Church.
Thank you @bam_brooklyn for the extra large t-shirt! #38weekspregnant
Grateful for these little loves today and everyday. #catsofinstagram
The most gorgeous baby quilt from our Aunt Glenda; truly a work of art and a family heirloom. Can’t wait for this guy to be out and to realize the love that surrounds him more than he can possibly imagine....
I don’t know how to officially #repost but here’s a cutie posted by a cutie of 1/3 of the Einstein chorus at another @bam_brooklyn gig last night. Hard to believe Einstein in Brooklyn happened 6 years (!) ago! ❤️❤️
I believe this is commonly referred to as “nesting.” God knows what’s gonna happen when when he moves out of the bedside bassinet but I think we are set for the next 3-4 months. Thank you notes coming slowly but surely—having so much fun going through childhood books of mine and Red’s, as well as the incredibly thoughtful books so many friends and fam gifted us...#nycapartment #babyspace #diy #pseudonursery
And this early gem from CCD. I think I had a handle on organized religion from a very young age. #jesuscareshowyoufeel
Definitely just came across a fan letter I wrote to Jonathan Brandis (RIP) c. 1993. I always was a pushy little number. #isdarwinarealdolphin #doyouthinkicouldevergueststaronseaquest
Singing beautiful music with wonderful colleagues playing with #wordlessmusicorchestra for Terrence Malick’s Voyage Of Time. Conducted by @jayceogren 🙌 This is a gorgeous film and we have the best seats in the house. (And the ability to sit while singing...🙏🏻) @bam_brooklyn @bamnextwave @felizbrooklyn #gigsinthehood so happy to be #closetohome
Nearing #37weekspregnant hitting the yoga mat and foam rollers, biking, squatting, trying to stay focused for the end of this marathon which surely will culminate in the hardest part; there are definitely aspects of this that remind me of studying for Eastman comps. #pregnantmezzo #onedayatatime
Maybe it’s hormones but I stepped off the C train at W4 for a rehearsal with @voascension tonight and there were some jazz buskers on the platform and I was overwhelmed with excitement that in a month (or three weeks, or maybe a longer 😬...) our son will be outside in the world and I’ll be able to carry him around this amazing city. I can’t wait to walk him through every neighborhood, to introduce him to so much music, so many people, food, parks, animals, all of my favorite spots. And that’s just here! I feel huge and am trying to rally for one more week of back to back style rehearsals and gigs, and then am incredibly thankful that I (and many of us) will get a collective few days to rest with friends or family around Thanksgiving next week. I’ve been under a bit of an anxiety cloud about life and our country and the world and bringing a person into it...but that west village music just brought me back. Back to what feels like my earliest explorations of this place as an undergrad at SUNY Purchase, the world was our oyster and the city was our playground. Thankful for that shot of optimism, wherever it came from! #nyc #greatestcityintheworld
They’ve really gotta learn how to relax. #catsofinstagram #mishathecat #aylerthecat
There’s gonna be some family contention around this adorable feathered reindeer creature. ❤️
Never have we been so overwhelmed by love of family and friends since the days after our wedding three-plus years ago. So much thought went into so many beautiful baby gifts, so many beautiful knit things, including a sweater made by my Aunt Pat who bought the yarn in Vermont during our wedding weekend years ago.... These friends and family are an incredible testament to my Mom, to the village of amazing people who have been part of my life from the first days, and we can’t wait for our little guy to meet his friends and family who already love him so much. #ittakesavillage
Remember when Red used to be in beer? Where/how to store 75 bottles of wine in a NYC apartment without a proper cellar (and we haven’t really been drinking any of it for about 8-9 months so we will be ready to share with folks around the holiday season) 🙃....#bordeaux #pinotnoir #barbera #willamettevalley
