Wherever you're at or whatever you're doing right now, just know if you're having a bad day it's OK. Rest, reset your soul, and get up and do something about it. We have to keep moving each day even when we don't want to, because if we don't, and we sit, we die. No matter how hard it gets, don't quit and keep busting your ass for whatever you want in my life. You're gonna have good times and bad, and the key is to keep your head up and keep moving forward and forget the past. #KeepSteppin

Seriously folks!

Virtually every piece composed by us 76 composers in this awesome recording by Min Kwon, utilizing Samuel A. Ward’s “America, the Beautiful”, is a revelation in the greatest of Arts.

You need this recording more than you think you do.

Promotional video I made in celebrating the release of Min Kwon’s epic album “America/Beautiful” on the DELOS label.

It was a true privilege to be one of the 76 composers involved in this awesome and gargantuan effort.

Well done, Min! ☺️

Last night, I sang ‘Bruderlein’ from Johann Strauss Jr’s “Die Fledermaus”. At the CRYSTAL LAKE bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. A song about enjoying people around you, no matter bad things can get. This is especially relevant now. Long story short, it went over well.

Thank you Micheal Tilson Thomas for enhancing our enlightenment in this amazing genre we call Classical. You were one of my greatest influences. R.I.P. MTT.

If you have to google the answer to the following questions, then go away:

How many minutes is a quarter of an hour?

If you were born 13 years ago, how old will you be today?

Name three countries.

Is Europe a country or a continent?

How many dimes make a dollar?

My America is NOT DT, Shirley Phelps or Kid Rock. It IS Barack Obama, James Farmer and Aaron Copland. And If you think the current administration erases the legacies and accomplishments of the latter three people here, then I don’t need to know you. #250USA

Yes, I’m glad #Afroman won against the dumb Police suing him for defamation. But his #American Flag outfit, I found distasteful. The best Americans are the ones who wear the flag only as a patch on their jacket, because it shows that they’re human beings first! #250th

Listening now to the glorious orchestral music of George Butterworth, as I walk home to my apartment in lower Manhattan. I suppose this isn’t newsworthy, but that’s your problem. Ahem……

Sorry Timothèe. 😏

[Charles Coleman @ComposerColeman]

Yes, I think #TimothyCharlemagne is ignorant. But I do agree that we shouldn’t do professions for the purpose of preserving it. Thankfully, we classical based musicians do what we do because the music is amazing and we LOVE IT! PERIOD!

Just spent the afternoon placing these stickers on various lampposts throughout lower Manhattan. Thank you, ⁦@mollycrabapple⁩ for spreading the word.

Hanging at Variety Roasters in lower Manhattan, during this epic snowstorm. Composing music for a short film to be presented by ACM’s ‘Sound of Silent Film’ festival this year. Am I proud and maybe a little vain? YES, I AM! 😁
