I don't pick it up often anymore, but when I do, it brings me such joy, and then I don't want to stop playing. Then, my lips insist! LOL I do love string music, though -- especially string quartet, and Puccini's Crisantemi has definitely become one of my favorites! #MusicPlantsHope

OK, I'm doing a big paraphrase here. This is not word-word with the Spanish. But, it's the gist of it. Natalia says that she wanted to include a little story underneath the main story of the concert for plants .

Pre-orders are starting to arrive early! 🥰 As a bird-lover, I adore that Natalia included a bird in such a poignant way! #musicplantshope is winging its way to a store near you! There’s still time to pre-order… check out the links by scanning the QR code! #backmatterblitz
