AlmaNova World Music Collective
Saturday night was a night of music in South Pasadena! We played our brand of world pop/rock fusion with fellow friends/musicians, Zach Harmon on drums, Zach Hahn on guitar and bass, and Deb Hahn on violin. Our repertoire ranged from our Balkans tunes to Irish and Korean folk songs. It was all filmed by one of LA's top camera crews. If anyone is interested in getting a copy of this DVD, contact Walter at South Pasadena Music Center and Conservatory.

Review of our concert!
We just received e-mail with a review of our concert written by a recent attendee at one of our concerts!!
Here is what it said:
"I just got home from hearing the most amazing duo!
They are young couple; she plays the flute, and he plays guitar...
Just stunning!
He is from Bosnia, and his compositions reflect his heritage...
She is an American girl, with European roots, and her music reflects that...
They play a blend of music from the Balkans, Spain, Latin America, and the British Isles...
I was transfixed!"

AlmaNova and the Doctor!
This weekend was spent with Eye Surgeon extraordinaire and good friend, Dr Ron Friedman and his family! The Friedman's are very special friends to us and we always have a great time with them. On this visit, we were lucky enough to play for a few of Ron's friends at his beautiful home...the guest list included the one and only Kenny Hill!!!...AND great guitarist Terrence Farrell!!! Ron's living room acoustics are just as good as any world class concert hall and he serves better refreshments that's for shure! Enjoy these photos from a very wonderful weekend with great friends!

A Musical Weekend!
A big thank you for those of you who attended our two performances this past weekend! We were happy and honored to play for 'The Previews' and 'Music in the Mansion' concert series. Both venues had great acoustics and warm audiences. We previewed one of our new arrangements as an encore...and everyone we spoke to really like it! So, we are on for recording another CD of original tunes and arrangements! Almer is working full force on this! For those of you searching for some new place to visit in LA, you should visit the Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills. It was the site of the 'Music in the Mansion' concert and is very interesting. It's history filled with Hollywood-style drama! Here is the picture we have to share from our concert there taken by and with our new friends, Esther and Jorge! Thanks to them for allowing us to post the photo!Friday, April 11, 2008

Almer and Zach play Bossa in So Pas!
It was a beautiful night in SoPas thanks to the dueling guitars of Almer and jazz guitarist extraordinaire, Zach Hahn! They played a program of their own unique arrangements of favorite Bossa Nova tunes to a full house of guitar enthusiasts! I was happy to see this 'rare' side of Almer jamming and having fun playing new music. Zach and Almer are both on the faculty at SPMCC and this was the first of hopefully more unique and inspiring faculty concerts at this great venue. Hope to see you at the next! Here's a photo of the two performers greeting their 'fans'!

Ray Bradbury is cool!!!!!!!!!
We had a great performance yesterday evening and were so honored to be a part of Ray Bradbury Day in South Pasadena. Mr. Bradbury is a wonderful speaker. He related to both the young and older fans in the audience (there were 700 people present!). His words of advice were as follows: "Do what you love and love what you do". That rang very true with us. It was great to see such an important figure in American literature speak and share his memories with all of us.
