It’s always such a pleasure to play with PostClassical Ensemble. Here’s the review of last night’s performance:

Review | PostClassical Ensemble opens the new year with ‘Amazing Grace’ PostClassical Ensemble’s “Amazing Grace: In Paradisum” had its sights firmly set on heaven above — and even managed to deliver us there a few times.

The opera Dead Man Walking was the final jeopardy answer tonight. Apparently it was performed at Sing Sing with a chorus of 14 inmates. That must have been a powerful experience. I remember how hard it was to get through without crying every time at Central City Opera. Performing music is amazing, but when it has a crucial message to share, it makes it even more meaningful.

Feeling stressed about the holidays? Need some music to help you relax and reset? Why not give yourself the gift of music for movement and meditation wirh our brand new album of music by Ellen Fishman?
