Sometimes they seek comfort; at other times—in a way that is almost comical—they stubbornly refuse to be comforted, retreating instead into a stubborn silence. With her cello as a central thread, Doris navigates between music, text, and performance. She shifts effortlessly between the intimate and the grand, the light and the heavy. Where language falls short, music takes over.

Works by composers such as Chopin, Liszt, Wiegerink, and Van Goens resonate throughout a performance that drifts between the familiar and the strange. For comfort cannot be forced—yet it can be found, often in the places where you least expect it. Comfort is a personal, musical quest for what keeps us standing.
