A still from a BEAUTIFUL music video collaboration

A still from a BEAUTIFUL music video collaboration with @chriscerrone @danieeharris @ncstatemusic @rcsymphonyassoc and Nathan Leaf and the NC State choirs. One of the things I'm most proud of from the last two years.

As part of our commitment to keeping musicians performing and composers creating through challenging times, Nathan and I asked Chris to compose a "pandemic-friendly" piece for the NC State/Raleigh Civic orchestras and choirs.
We are so fortunate to be able to pair Chris's gorgeous music with filmmaker Danie Harris's incredible artistry to create this testament to the power of art and artists to persevere and find beauty amidst difficulty.

Special thanks to all of the incredible musicians, dancers and creators who made this remarkable work of art possible!
