Cuddle Concerts

I met Annemarie Guzy through her husband, Alastair Edmonstone, who is a great pianist working at Cal State San Bernardino. Annemarie had worked previously with a professional symphony orchestra and had managed/created these wonderful Cuddle Concerts made especially for a very underserved population: children age 6 months to 3 years old. She contacted professional musicians in the area and created fun and interactive concerts to be given live in Riverside, CA. She contacted me to be the host and MC for the kiddos. We did the first couple of concerts there and then along came COVID and we were cancelled - like everyone else. We did one online concert “All About Bears” and were were working on our first live concert back in downtown Riverside (“Bugs”) when the most recent surge closed us down again. I’m sure we’ll be back again soon. I’ll let you know.

"Susan brings an energetic, warm, and thoughtful musical perspective to each performance. Not only is she a fine musician, but she is also a joy to work and collaborate with.” ~Annemarie Guzy, Cuddle Concerts Artistic Director and Creator and Riverside Unified School District Arts Specialist
