I am ecstatic to announce the FIRST episode of the podcast Artists Who Parent as I interview the amazing cellist and mother of three, Laura Melnicoff.

Last year, you could find Laura scootering down the streets of Manhattan with her large, 9 month pregnant belly and her cello strapped on her back in order to perform every night in the Off-Broadway production of Yiddish Fiddler On The Roof.

Here she shares her thoughts on the enormous impact playing music together can have on children, her earliest transformative music experience, and why finding community is her biggest advice to artist parents.
