Subscribe to the music video premiere on YouTube & pre save the EP at my link in bio

I’ve spent a long time inside Taylor Swift’s world: her music, her storytelling, and her sheer tenacity in building all she’s built. And the more time I spent with her songs, the more convinced I became: this music was always meant for strings ☺️🎻.
’The Taylor Swift Suite’ is six orchestral reimaginations of some of her most powerful work, from ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ to “All Too Well” in its complete 10+ minute form. It’s out June 19, with “All Too Well” arriving May 29 and “Blank Space” on June 5.
And there’s more coming. I’ll be announcing new dates for ‘Taylor Swift: The Symphony Era’, a full orchestral production weaving together42 of her songs, performed live with orchestra, band and vocalists. Subscribe at the link in bio to be the first to know.
To every Swiftie: I hope you hear something new in these songs. I’m right there with you. 🎻

I’ve spent years inside Kendrick Lamar’s music. And the more time I spend with it, the more convinced I am that this music is as essential as anything Stravinsky, Wagner, or Mozart ever wrote. So this suite isn’t combined with another composer; it’s Kendrick through my own musical lens. I just wanted to let it breathe through a string orchestra. Beautiful where it’s beautiful. Ferocious where it’s ferocious. To Kendrick fans: yes, I’m right there with you. 🎻 ‘The Kendrick Lamar Suite’ available now.
I had so much fun re-imagining ‘Not Like Us’. This section features the first and second violins playing ferocious sextuplets against the main beat of the track. What comes next is a fugue- check out ‘The Kendrick Lamar Suite’ EP to hear the rest!

The song you’ve all listened to the most is not a cover. It is “So She Leapt, Unburdened, Into the Unknown”, played by Lucia Micarelli. An original composition I wrote at the piano, then arranged for full orchestra and solo violin. One of the hopes in recording all the covers is that they will lead you to my original music. I’m so grateful for all the support this has received.

Some melodies just belong to certain instruments. The moment I sat down with Kendrick Lamar’s “Love,” I heard a cello. The beauty of that melody, the way it sings…it was always meant for strings. @sethparkerwoods is so extraordinary in this. He plays it so beautifully. This is what it sounds like when music this essential gets the orchestra it deserves.
This is Kendrick’s “LOVE.” conducted into something new. Featuring the extraordinary @sethparkerwoods on cello.
“HUMBLE.” was an adventure. I wanted to honor the ferocity of that song, the emotional power of Kendrick Lamar’s message. And with strings, I wanted to find a new way to hit just as hard as the original. 🎻
“Not Like Us (String Orchestra)” is out now on ‘The Kendrick Lamar Suite.’ Watch the full music video on YouTube.
