Perri Knize

Perri Knize grew up the daughter of a professional musician, in a home saturated in classical music. Instead of following her father’s path of a career in music, she became an award-winning environmental policy reporter for magazines. Her articles and essays have appeared in The Atlantic Monthly, Audubon, Sports Illustrated, Conde Nast Traveler and Outside. In her 40s, she felt called to return to her first love, the piano. She lives in Montana with her husband, Oliver, their mastiff, Ben, their cat, Sylvia and her piano, Marlene.
