about

SERENE is a concert pianist from an unexpected trajectory; despite never having attended music conservatory, she brings concerts upon the world's stages, is an endorsed Bösendorfer Artist, and her solo performances have been described as a “spectacle to match the New York Philharmonic.”(Paris Review)


Recently she presented her Bösendorfer debut concert at the Vienna Konzerthaus, with two piano concertos in one evening (Rachmaninoff and Scriabin). In addition to performing broad repertoire with notable orchestras, SERENE has enjoyed collaborating with other Artists across diverse genres, from her role as a composer for Kanye West’s Opera, premiered at Lincoln Center & Art Basel; to her performance collaborations with Grimes, using music-technology innovations with EEG (Electro-encephalogram) with live-generated reactive visuals in combination with piano performance.


Previously, Serene was a computer scientist, ex-Google Engineer, senior research fellow at Berkeley ICSI, and creator of various open-source projects where she developed the censorship-circumvention protocol Snowflake. In 2022, SERENE's previous work ended up being critical for communications and internet freedom within crisis zones during the advent of the Ukraine War, since having a global impact on internet freedom. This led to her founding of the technology company Snowstorm Inc, the evolution of Snowflake, which she oversees addition to concertizing.


Serene's work had been featured in Forbes, TechRadar, Fast Company, and beyond. In the brief times since her tech days, she has cultivated a disciplined, personal, and spiritual approach to music. Serene loves sharing the beauty and power of classical music with all audiences everywhere, and with her intersections of disciplines and “ability to enthrall audiences” (SFCM) she has grown an international following.
