A Different Kind of Music

A concert pianist losing her hearing is asked to teach a deaf nine-year-old — and rediscovers music through her hands instead of her ears. A tender story about loss, reinvention, and learning to feel a song instead of hearing it.

“Concert pianist Yelena Marchetti had built a twenty-year career on precision, and she lost sixty percent of the hearing in her left ear over the course of eight terrifying months to a condition her doctors could slow but not reverse.”
