Cynthia Hilts is a jazz pianist and vocalist, a prolific composer and lyricist, teacher, poet, practicer of many natural arts, and occasional painter. “Alexis” (and Zekai) is a rare pastel, as she usually works with watercolors. As a recording artist she has three CD’s under her name. A new CD with her chamber jazz ensemble “Lyric Fury” performing Cynthia’s original jazz compositions, will be released in spring 2014. She delights in the interplay of color, line, form, texture and harmony, within and between all her practiced and unpracticed arts. http://cynthiahilts.com
