I would love to play for your special occasion, wedding, religious service, concert, funeral or other event!
I have performed for a large variety of situations, from church services to small gatherings, huge concert venues to tiny classrooms, anniversary parties and store openings, fund raisers and product launchings. You would reap the benefits of all my experience. Do you have favorite songs that mean a lot to your guests or your family? I can play them in all sorts of different styles of music. The sound of the cello has the same range as the human voice. It is expressive of a wide variety of emotions. At its most intimate, it can sound like someone humming a tune. At its most powerful, it can fill a large concert hall with dramatic tones. References are available upon request.
If you need more than one musician, I have a network of other artists who have joined me on many engagements.
Glissando, an ensemble of three harps, masterfully played by Lisa Boggess, Gail Johnson and Cheryl Saar, an alto recorder, beautifully played by Jacqueline Renowden, and a guitar, lyrically played by Kelly Jones. The blending of our instruments is lush and beautiful! We play anything from Celtic tunes to Taize music.
Lisa Boggess, an incredible harpist. Lisa and I recorded a CD of original music, "Lakeshore Escape." We have performed for banquets, worship services and many other events. We also wrote a musical fable together, "Birds of a Feather, " which we perform with Gail Johnson, narrator, and Manuel Alvarez, guitarist.
Jennifer Boso, a talented pianist. One of our most-requested repertoires highlights love songs from the 1930's and 1940's. We also play classical, religious and contemporary music together.
As the need arises, I also have the option of inviting other experienced musicians to join me. Call to let me know what type of atmosphere you would like to add to your event.
I have recorded the following CDs:
Motherhood: Keeping the Balance, A Relaxation Break for Moms. Two meditations written by Mary Horngren, a hypnotherapist. The first meditation, "Ocean", takes one on a guided relaxation to a soothing place by the shore. The second meditation is designed for busy moms who need a moment of solace. Each meditation is accompanied by me on cello. These meditations are available on CD and audiotape.
Lakeshore Escape. A collection of original songs written by Lisa Boggess. Two of my songs are included. The pieces are performed on harp, piano, cello and classical guitar. The songs on this CD are used in the musical fable, "Birds of a Feather", written by Lisa and me.
Breathe. Original music written by Walter Tabayoyong and Keith Uchima. Walter's beautiful baritone vocals and captivating music will delight listeners.
State of Mind. Original music written by Keith Uchima features a unique blend of adult contemporary, pop/rock and urban grooves that showcases Keith's gritty, soulful vocals, hip-hop beats and a dash of exotic Asian flavor.
Resting Place. Rich Rubietta and Abounding Music offer twelve Scriptures set to music and surrounded by fresh lyrics to strengthen your walk with God. This CD serves as a companion to Jane Rubietta's book, Resting Place.
