I first met the Steinhilbers several summers ago at the Chautauqua Institution. Since then, our collaborations have included intimate dinnertime soirées at their home and recitals for the Chautauqua Women’s Club. Each time, they have modeled the very best of artistic hospitality — generosity of spirit paired with thoughtful engagement — exemplifying what it means to open one’s home in service of the arts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692cf10d9dfb357efeaa6838/1771874496794-4KQW1E3QL85WY2WK4WWS/choregraphie-0196.jpeg.webp Journal - Twisted Love https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692cf10d9dfb357efeaa6838/1771874609003-L025OTSJ7U73FMAP1SEN/IMG_2483.jpg Journal - Twisted Love https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692cf10d9dfb357efeaa6838/1771874497422-CDJWB876N1MCXUQ28BL9/Screenshot+2026-02-23+at+2.07.01%E2%80%AFPM.png Journal - Twisted Love https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692cf10d9dfb357efeaa6838/1771874608723-32X6S8RQAKDY5GYF3C2F/IMG_8153.jpg Journal - Twisted Love https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692cf10d9dfb357efeaa6838/ce88d4b8-a95f-4679-8634-16f5a8c08003/tempImagee1igZY.jpg Journal - Twisted Love Following the presentation, Diane made an extraordinary gesture: she donated one of her paintings — an homage to Edgar Degas’s Blue Dancers — to Consort Eureka to raise funds for future projects. The painting was immediately sold. These proceeds directly enabled us to finance our upcoming Irish concert series in March. I am deeply grateful for her generosity and for the example it sets — that the arts thrive not only through performance, but through shared investment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692cf10d9dfb357efeaa6838/5186d719-6fa1-4bf6-bbb2-14a7cd3cccf0/tempImageJ9e8zf.jpg Journal - Twisted Love To conclude the musical portion of the evening, Étienne and I performed Miklós Rózsa’s Sonata for Two Violins, Op. 15a — originally composed in 1933 and later revised in 1973. Though many know Rózsa primarily for his celebrated film scores — most famously Ben-Hur (1959), which earned him one of his three Academy Awards — he consistently maintained a parallel and deeply serious career as a concert composer. Compact and intense, the work demands athletic precision from both players, culminating in a driving and virtuosic finale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692cf10d9dfb357efeaa6838/1771879366649-X27EVVOOWA47SHD15MZE/IMG_2496.jpg Journal - Twisted Love https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692cf10d9dfb357efeaa6838/1771879739426-FIYYXYIEWXFB8QH5DR1H/urn-cambridge.org-id-binary-20250718024142467-0522-S2326448900000969-S2326448900000969_fig8.png Journal - Twisted Love https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692cf10d9dfb357efeaa6838/1771879366678-PV2NIFW09KPSB7GTPRIE/IMG_2498.jpg Journal - Twisted Love https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692cf10d9dfb357efeaa6838/1771879600638-A9MILTBJOTAMI41KF7TA/beauchamp-feuillet.jpg Journal - Twisted Love https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692cf10d9dfb357efeaa6838/d78798bd-fbd4-446d-af5e-a9bf05eb0d42/IMG_8130.jpg Journal - Twisted Love Consort Eureka is blessed to count Diane and Jeff Steinhilber among its most treasured hosts.

Étienne and I first met at age fourteen at the Meadowmount School of Music, then reunited some fifteen years later when I moved to Montréal — his hometown — to begin my PhD at McGill. Liam, a master’s student, stepped into the role of Executive Director. He had never visited New York City, so it felt fitting that our first performance together would also be his first encounter with the city. We were joined by two key builders from earlier chapters: my mother, Susan, who flew up from Florida to support the launch (and continues to assist with administrative work), and Felicia Su, who flew in from Chicago. Felicia, a former student of mine from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s Continuing Education Program, is an accountant by profession and a passionate lover of music. She generously lends her guidance as we grow — she and my mother both helped build Insight Chamber Players in its early days. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692cf10d9dfb357efeaa6838/3e276773-adec-45b0-b9aa-9cba1c645b5a/PXL_20260202_005123663.jpg Journal - Inaugural Soirée Arlene is an exceptional host. Her apartment is beautifully equipped for chamber music — two pianos, intimate seating, and a room that keeps everyone engaged. Roughly thirty guests joined us: bankers, a professor of philosophy, a puppetry teacher, and many others. As always, I like to mingle before we begin; a few conversations over wine eliminate any nerves and turn a performance into a shared event. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692cf10d9dfb357efeaa6838/1771150294742-TAMV4TLNKBBVZ7WG8IE5/PXL_20260201_235318346.jpg Journal - Inaugural Soirée https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692cf10d9dfb357efeaa6838/1771150295390-0J935WYHH98NIMWYV894/PXL_20260201_223901586.jpg Journal - Inaugural Soirée https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692cf10d9dfb357efeaa6838/1771150278941-RT48RPF7JOPIPA4BWFDE/PXL_20260201_151548447.jpg Journal - Inaugural Soirée https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692cf10d9dfb357efeaa6838/1771150520771-QQ15JIYQB0FO2498IRIM/PXL_20260202_000347931.jpg Journal - Inaugural Soirée https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692cf10d9dfb357efeaa6838/8b55122c-e7e8-48b3-87ba-600950206ad9/PXL_20260202_014841549.jpg Journal - Inaugural Soirée Consort Eureka exists because people choose to gather — to listen closely, to ask questions, to host, to travel, to support.
