Beth Anderson's music has been described as having 'a refreshing
simplicity without naivete' and as -'deeply felt, direct, and yes,
beautiful' and 'charming and deeply felt to the point of romanticism.'
Her latest CDs are violinist Aleksandra Maslovaric and pianist Tania
Fleischer performing Beth's Belgian Tango and Tales #1 & #3 and a CD
of chamber music for smaller ensembles, Quilt Music (Albany Records).

Ms.  Anderson has worked with New York video artist Dmitriy Khavin to
create two new videos based on her beautiful Pennyroyal Swale for string
quartet.  Mr.  Khavin matched the music to the magnificent Kentucky
landscapes and other photos of James Archambeault.  To view the videos,
