The Musicians

Anne Breeden, pianist, grew up in a deeply musical family—her parents played in the San Francisco Symphony, her grandfather was a renowned jazz musician, and both brothers earned music degrees. She has performed across the U.S. and internationally, including in Italy, Germany, Japan, Finland, and Norway.

After graduate studies at the Eastman School of Music and the Cleveland Institute of Music, Anne built a vibrant freelance career in Chicago, joining the part-time faculty at DePaul University. She collaborated with members of the Chicago Symphony, Chicago Opera Theatre, and The Metropolitan Opera. She has performed for dignitaries including Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld—thankfully not all at once.

After a shoulder injury forced a 5-year retirement from performing, Anne founded a long-running living room concert series, which developed into a nonprofit delivering custom concerts to underserved communities. 

Now based in Denver, she has taught at Metropolitan State University and Colorado State University and maintains a thriving private studio. She has performed widely along Colorado’s Front Range and serves on the faculty of Orvieto Musica in central Italy.

A passionate advocate for intimate, mission-driven concerts, Anne now works with Art That Does Good, bringing music and art into homes and small venues to support local nonprofits. She lives in Littleton, CO with her husband, daughter, cat, and two surviving chickens.

Malachi Williams is a pianist, violist, and vocalist from the St. Louis, Missouri area, driven by a devotion to the music of Franz Schubert and a passion for sharing that reverence with his audiences. Currently completing his bachelor’s degree in clinical psychology, he is committed to bridging the worlds of classical music and mental health. He invites listeners not only to hear, but to feel, reflect, and heal.

He serves as the principal violist of the Southeast Missouri Symphony Orchestra, and studies under Beth Gutermann Chu, principal violist of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. As an active collaborative pianist, Malachi is a trusted musical partner within both his university community and the region at large. He spent six years studying classical voice, both baritone and countertenor, under the late Cherie Dawe, whose influence continues to shape his artistic voice.

Beyond the concert hall, Malachi is a devoted student of psychology, an avid traveler of America’s great art museums, and the owner of a thriving photography and videography business. His work, in every medium, reflects the same through-line: a heart attuned to beauty, connection, and the stories that make us human.
