Phyllis’ debut toy piano album, UnCaged Toy Piano has been released. The CD features 11 tracks of pieces for toy piano by John Cage, Stephen Montague, Julia Wolfe, Phyllis Chen and others.
“The tracks I’ve heard from the forthcoming CD of Chen’s prove that the instrument’s principal limitation is that so few people treat it as respectfully as she does.” — Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader (Feb. 2009)
Phyllis is now performing in the Off-Broadway production of Coraline from now until July 5th (extended!) at the Lucille Lortel Theater in the West Village, NYC.
