Tiburon

One of our favorite places to escape to is the beautiful and scenic town of Tiburon in Marin County just north of San Francisco! Before heading to Monterey, CA for a concert with Valencia Vas and Kevin Stoller, we were able to spend a few days of relaxation and fun! Enjoy the photos of Almer by the bay and Jessica enjoying her favorite cappuccino! We are off to NYC next week!

AlmaNova with KPFK host John Schneider!

We had such a great morning with John Schneider, host of KPFK's 90.7 'Global Village'. We talked a little and played three tunes live. Almer spoke about his compositions and gave a small insight into the music and repertoire of Bosnia.

Sir James Galway and Jessica's star student, Laura Lussier

As a teacher, it it always the greatest feeling to see your own students accomplish something great.  This weekend was no exception!  One of my best students, Laura Lussier (as pictured with the Maestro himself), was chosen to perform on stage at the Hollywood Bowl with Sir James Galway as part of his inauguration into the Hollywood Bowl's Hall of Fame!  Laura was one of 20 young aspiring flutists in a flute choir representing the non-profit organization, Music Matters.  Please join me in congratulating Sir James Galway for his enormous contribution to the flute and its popularity!  

New sheet music available from AlmaNova

We are so happy to have finished up our sheet music and scores from the first cd 'Debut'.
Almer has worked very hard to compose and prepare all the parts for printing. Here he is working in our beautiful garden trying to escape the Pasadena heat!

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.
