Choral Happenings

JUST NOW:  What pleasure to lead 200 young women in high-energy singing and stomp with VOCO & conductor/composer, Andrea Ramsey at PicFest!

SOON:  I just solidified plans for 2017 collaboration with Grant Gershon’s visionary Los Angeles Master Chorale for April/June. It’s an honor & thrill to write a piece for 900 young singers + LAMC, and have my piece premiere at their 20th Anniversary “Lux Aeterna” Concerts.

MUSIC VIDEO:  We just filmed the official “Bring Me Little Water, Silvy” video – water, dust, body percussion and all!  Watch out soon for the video premiere!

Tiny News Bit

Are you getting this newsletter for the first time?  I’m hoping that with my upgraded mail program, more of you might enjoy my few, but hopefully fun-to-read newsletters about concerts, recordings, choral music and workshops!

Current news bits…I’m finishing a SOLO album this December, & ushering in new levels of solo and collaborative live shows. In early August I’m excited and humbled at the opportunity to lead songs at the Calais Refugee Camp in France as part of Expressive Arts Refuge (EAR).  In nervous, impassioned anticipation of meeting these displaced human beings, this song, ‘Refugee’ sprang forth, and I wanted to share a rough mix, un-mastered, pre-album-release version exclusively with YOU. Here is the private SoundCloud link to my song, ‘Refugee’.

Solas and The Lomax Project  are releasing lots of pretty videos this summer, and touring lots to support 2016 & 2017 albums. I’ll post links via facebookinstagram & my blog.
