FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The SOUND of the instruments resonate within each person who experiences it,
regardless of age, background, context, culture, ethnicity, or financial status
Indoors,
outdoors,
at universities,
concert halls,
classrooms
with danzantes,
as a soloist,
or with a chamber group or symphonic orchestra
The SOUND calls everyone and brings us together,
if only for a few moments,
and then,
the moments gone
but never from our EXPERIENCE.................
Always a BLESSING to be invited either as a composer, performer
or collaborator with indigenous instruments of Mexico, Meso America
or any of my other instruments
I continue to receive several commissions
and residencies for new works for
chamber duos - e.g., harp, guitar, marimba
chamber orchestra
documentaries and films
In January of 2016 I was invited to perform my original compositions for
pedal harp and indigenous instruments of Mexico and Mesoamerica
at the castle of Chapultepec with Tasha Smith Godinez in Mexico City, MX

"I am playing my huehuetl,
I who hunt for songs to awaken and fire our friends
whose hearts lie listless,
for whom the day does not yet break-
those who sleep in comas,
those who glory in gloomy night when
the flowering dawn already sings her song
and when once again morn lightens the place where
huehuetls play..........."
