Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped make our performance of "Light Connected" at Disney Concert Hall a really special experience last week.  The charity United Friends of the Children hosted a wonderful event celebrating the foster youth of Los Angeles County who are headed to college in the fall.  It was great to help honor some extraordinary kids who are succeeding in life beyond all odds with a piece that reflected their accomplishments.

In composing and performing the piece, I collaborated with Dolce Wang (cello), Brandon Turner (bass), Tino Gregoriou (cajon), Chante Griffin (spoken word poetry), and Morgan Carroll (dance).  The poem accompanying the piece was written by Monica Cure.  It was a great privilege to work with good friends to create and perform a piece for an incredible organization at this outstanding venue.

We plan to record the piece soon and I plan on posting it here in the near future.
