David YangAs a kid, I resisted practicing and struggled with proper technique.
From the start, when Jane Niebling and I founded NCMF, I had a vision of coming up with my family. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of both my daughters performing here with me. It is a unique pleasure to have our 2025 Composer-in-Residence, Guthrie Ramsey, arriving with his daughter, the talented Bridget Ramsey, a classically-trained soprano who can also mix it up with the best in jazz and R&B. A potent combination, indeed.
This summer they’ll be performing some arrangements that Guthrie has composed. The centerpiece is the world premiere "Beat Chick: Tunes for Hettie Jones."
I sat down over the ether with Bridget a few months ago to get to know her better.

NCMF relies on the assistance of corporations, foundations, and most importantly, you.
