* FEBRUARY 21ST 2017 - FROM THOSE WHO FOLLOW THE ECHOES

I apologize for every blog post having a video!  But this one is long overdue.  Finally I was able to edit one of the videos from the premiere of my new choir, From Those Who Follow The Echoes, at Hotel Emma last fall.  With our next performance looming, I wanted to pump this one out.  Come see us on March 2nd at Blue Star Contemporary for the Contemporary Art Month Kick-Off Party in San Antonio.  Click to watch "Fathers & Sons" by yours truly!!!

* FEBRUARY 19th 2017 - FIRST ATTEMPT AT CHORAL MUSIC

As I embark on yet another exciting choral adventure with an amazing group of singers in Texas, I'm reminded of the first choral piece I ever wrote.  I was late in discovering the beauty of the voice but when I delved into it, I got hooked.  There is something special about working with any large ensemble and I remember working with the group you will see perform in this video.  Rehearsals were magical in the sense that the rehearsal space was small and intimate, so I was able to get to know more than a handful of the performers.  And that is what I love about music.  How it brings people together for a common purpose of sharing.  I can't believe years later I have my own choir.  There is this special bond we have as if we've gone to battle for each other and now that we are reuniting for another concert, it feels like a family reunion.  I'm excited to see how it evolves and I hope the singers have a similar sentiment.  So for context, the video below was the premiere of the first choral piece I ever wrote titled, Phosphorescent Flame (also on Spotify & iTunes).  If you scroll down to the preview blog post, you will find info on the next performance!
