Thanks for posting this. Margaret gave a wonderful concert tonight at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC, and this video is helping me to continue my appreciation of the evening.

The carousel performance was so good, if anyone has any recommendations for minimalist fringe instrumentals like that carousel by Phyllis Chen please let me know :-)
