Concert Recommendations

The goal of this website is to create ways to find new music that is high quality without needing to know the name of the composer or composition before hand. One of the more exciting ways to do this is through my curated concerts. Each concert will be cohesive through a theme. When you purchase a concert ticket, you will see how each piece on the concert will fit the theme. Additionally, the difficulty of the pieces will be separated into three categories.

Poblano Pepper Tier

This level is for more adventurous listeners. The pieces have more advanced harmonies, but at no point does the music loose a since of pitch center (home base). The harmonies can be spicy with plenty of crunch.
