Clermont State Historic Site
Free For Sova — the stage name of New York-based pianist/composer Sophia Subbayya Vastek — the piano has always been home. A second-generation pianist, she holds a deep reverence for her collective history, coupled with an exploratory ear, and moves quietly between musical worlds. Over the years, her intuitive playing style — rooted in tenderness, improvisation, and classical training — has evolved into a dynamic, cinematic sound. Described as performing with "passion and profound tenderness" (Second Inversion) and "serene strokes and lyrical beauty" (Brooklyn Rail), her music is quietly devastating, blossoming into ambient-inspired soundscapes that range from whisper-soft echoes to expressive cascades. Please note: All Harmonies on the Hudson concerts are weather permitting. Check out the whole season's concert calendar at friendsofclermont.org/events.
