a February show and a hello
Hi Hope your New Year is off to a good start -- I've got a show I wanted to tell you about (2/22) and some other sundry things that I hope you'll enjoy.... Duo with Jeb Patton 2/22 6:30pm (2 sets)After doing so much big band last year, I'm excited to start off this one with a duo performance, singing lots of new material (More Manet! Wine songs!) and reveling in the intimacy of this format. This series at the Intercontinental Hotel is something special -- we'll be in a suite together with a beautiful piano, you'll be served two sets with hors d'oeuvres and wine/beverage all for $55. Very civilized. the email for RSVPs (it's not ticketed) is: Sebastian.Zischg@ihg.com, and you'll find more info below...
Manet & The WomenThis is the year for this project -- after a fun kickoff at the Met, I'm continuing to gather support for the album, and further developing the material for a conceptual concert experience meant for the stage. If you haven't checked it out:
Bye 2023I'm a little late for a year-in-review, so I'll just say so long to '23 with a pic from my personal and musical apotheosis of the year -- the "Holidays" concert at Gotham was the culmination of a year of concert development with this restaurant and the beautiful people who run it, and the celebration of year of extraordinary musical collaboration with Ted. For me, the music truly comes alive once its performed for an audience, and boy did it ever for this amazing crowd! Here's to more like it in the months to come. Thanks for sharing the journey with me, and sharing your ideas and thoughts (which I welcome!) More from me soon. Truly, Kristen |

Your weekly pairing of wine & song
Welcome to your pairing, and to a happy Friday. A few notes before we get to it!

Come for wine, wooded wanders and a set with me, Ted Nash, Russell Hall & Adam Birnbaum. Find tickets here.

Welcome to your pairing, and to a happy Friday. Hope you enjoy this week's duo as much as I did! Juice When you think of white Burgundy, you're usually thinking of chardonnay. Unless you think a little more...in which case it's time to talk about aligoté. While not as popular, or as widely planted, as the famed chardonnay, aligoté provides lots of pleasure. I think of it as white Burgundy’s B side. It’s also a more affordable way to get to know top producers — for instance, Burgundy’s lauded...
Happy Friday! I want to thank you if you took the time to answer the survey questions last week -- it's been SO helpful to me, and you'll be seeing changes that reflect your advice! (by the by, there's still time if you'd like to weigh in.:)) In light of what I've learned -- I'll be moving to an every--other week format for the pairing, which will make room for other fun things as we go. Without further ado... Juice Everything about Ficomontanino’s “Zacinta Revi” 2022 Tuscan wine is...
