Helen Orzel, the secret love child of Wonder Woman and Ludwig Van Beethoven, was raised by a pack of lions and a piano. She studied classical performance at CSU Northridge then later in Germany and Serbia, played and toured, but alas… classical music wasn’t her destiny.
Helen didn’t want to color inside the claustrophobic lines as her music education had taught her. So of course, the answer came to her in a bar. Sitting in Cafe Stritch, she heard a live performance of Herbie Hancock’s Butterfly and decided to immediately dump her long time lover Rachmaninoff. She hasn’t looked back, but if you listen very closely to her playing, you can hear Sergei Rachmaninoff and Thelonious Monk bickering at each other.
