The Mercury News: How Jenny Scheinman’s Humboldt roots influenced new music

“Sitting at a Steinway piano passed down from her grandmother, observing the ever-changing skyscape stretching to the horizon over the frothing Pacific Ocean, violinist Jenny Scheinman had plenty of time to contemplate her particular place in the biosphere during the first years of the pandemic.

She’d returned to the sweeping view in the house her back-to-the-land parents built on a remote tract on Humboldt County’s Lost Coast, an ideal location to pursue a project inspired by the flora and fauna that Scheinman encountered as a child during morning horseback rides to a one-room schoolhouse.” - Andy Gilbert
