Celebration of Music

Ms. Reilly’s earliest musical palates were influenced by her father, a jazz musician, who filled the living room with Classical, Jazz- and (in later years) R&B and World Music throughout her childhood. This diverse exposure is now heard in her music, which appears to pay homage to no particular music genre, but [is] a clear celebration of Music itself.
As a composer, Ms. Reilly channels the baroque masters, in simple playful romps; while [at] other times she unwittingly fuses elements of jazz and funk to spice up the pieces with refreshingly unexpected delights.
