Welcome to my recital entitled : Everything is
I am so grateful that you would be here this evening and I cant wait to show you all the hard work I have put into this night!
"Everything is" is about experiencing what it means to be human in all its wonder and weirdness.
My hope is that tonights recital will be a interactive experience between your story and the music and that through music you can create a story that feels real, meaningful, challenging, and important to you.
Most importantly, that you leave feeling loved, seen, empowered, or encouraged.
