99% String Quartet Debut Performance

The 99% String Quartet ("of, by and for the 99%") performed a noontime concert at Occupy Boston today, forming a little musical bridge between the farmers' market and encampment worlds. With my awesome friends Sharon Cohen (violin), Sarah Darling (viola) and Michael Unterman (cello).

It was a blast! We were blessed with sunny weather, great crowds, and a gracious farmers' market organizer who supplied us with a tent for shade.

It felt really amazing to share gorgeous music, our passion and our love to this movement.

Musicians are the 99% (as are each and every one of you who are reading this)!!

There are only so many web-updating hours in a day, and these days, my project blog is where I'm spending that time.. Creating, directing and producing Translations with a team of eight musicians, seven dancers, ten crew members, plus guest birders, guest iPhones, and guest singers was an incredible experience!

I invite you to read more at my blog: www.abirdaday.org! Photos to be posted soon, and I'm embarking on the video editing today (a multi-week adventure)!

Crazy Art-Making in Dayton OH!

I'm excited to be back with Blue Sky Project for a third summer, this time with a residency as a Community Artist-Investigator (Instigator!).

It's a very open-ended residency, and I'm thrilled to be here with this uniquely supportive and stimulating community of professional artists and teenage collaborators.

It's an amazing program, and Blue Sky feels like a creative home to me.
