We had a GREAT week in West Texas!
It was a thrill to return to the Museum of the Southwest's Children's Museum with the fabulous art director Rebekah Mena at the helm! Lots of families enjoyed listening and drawing to our live performance.
We call it "Seeing Sound" and brought it to Chukkers for Children - an amazing fundraiser for the Bynum School. The beautiful painting by Justice was created while we played Florence Price's 1st Quartet to 800 guests at Midland Polo Club on a breezy West Texas evening with a gorgeous moon.
We visited Spectrum of Solutions day program for the first time at the Helen Greathouse Vocational Center where we shared an interactive conversation about how music moves each of in a unique way.
The West Texas Conservatory also welcomed us for the first time and Brookdale Retirement Communities in Midland and Odessa hosted us for daytime concerts and Jennifer bumped into two gentleman who worked with her Dad....it is a small world!
These were just highlights of an action packed and memorable residency with plenty of fabulous Tex-Mex and BBQ.Looking forward to more!
