With my awesome friends Sharon Cohen (violin), Sarah Darling (viola) and Michael Unterman (cello).<br /><br />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.<br /><br />It felt really amazing to share gorgeous music, our passion and our love to this movement. <br /><br />Musicians are the 99% (as are each and every one of you who are reading this)!!<br /><br />occupyboston.com<br /><br />http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/newsdesk/2011/10/occupy-boston.html?mbid=gnep<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/297945466524405854-6171405438839279804?l=www.shawpong.com' alt='' /></div>Shaw Ponghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14194076730745834266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-297945466524405854.post-41061251709944330722011-07-15T09:59:00.000-07:002011-07-15T09:59:34.820-07:00There 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 <i>Translations</i> with a team of eight musicians, seven dancers, ten crew members, plus guest birders, guest iPhones, and guest singers was an incredible experience!<br /><br />I invite you to read more at my blog: <a href="http://www.abirdaday.org/">www.abirdaday.org</a>! Photos to be posted soon, and I'm embarking on the video editing today (a multi-week adventure)!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/297945466524405854-4106125170994433072?l=www.shawpong.com' alt='' /></div>Shaw Ponghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14194076730745834266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-297945466524405854.post-58074838161568884542011-06-12T18:51:00.000-07:002011-06-12T18:51:51.883-07:00I'm excited to be back with <a href="http://www.blueskydayton.org">Blue Sky Project</a> for a third summer, this time with a residency as a Community Artist-Investigator (Instigator!).<br /><br />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. <br /><br />It's an amazing program, and Blue Sky feels like a creative home to me.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/297945466524405854-5807483816156888454?l=www.shawpong.com' alt='' /></div>Shaw Ponghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14194076730745834266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-297945466524405854.post-87079902081347918032011-04-05T05:32:00.000-07:002011-04-05T05:32:17.255-07:00<a href="http://www.abirdaday.org">A Bird a Day</a> is going to Maine!<br />I have been selected as an artist-in-residence to work on A Bird a Day at <a href="http://www.nps.gov/acad/index.htm">Acadia National Park</a> April 25-May 6.
