I slept and dreamt that life was joy.
I awoke and saw that life was service.
I acted and behold, service was joy.
Rabindranath Tagore - philosopher, author, songwriter, painter, educator, composer, Nobel laureate (1861-1941)

Senza Misura
With pianist Kenneth Grigg, Ms. LeGrand tours as the duo Senza Misura. The name, Senza Misura, means “without measure,” representing the high level of musical expression and freedom they enjoy in their ensemble.

Their performances have been described as
“buoyant,” “scintillating” and “transcendent.”  
Catherine LeGrand and Kenneth Grigg have been performing together since 1991.
