I'd like to invite you to take a look at my 2012 project "Duo and Trio".

http://www.rockethub.com/projects/4144

I'm raising money to compose and record two pieces: a duo for Ashley
Addington and Rachel Arnold, who I met and admired at Vortex concerts;
and a trio for flute, piano and percussion for a trio of fine
musicians that I know from Concord Orchestra and Lexington Music Club.

In addition to reaching my funding goal, I'd really appreciate your
support in even a very small amount, to give the project a boost to
the next level of support. Community counts as much as money.

I am excited to announce a great project that I am working on with three wonderful filmmakers. We're making a documentary about the theater workshop process that I've been using and developing for last thirty-five years. Please check out the kicktstarter link below and see what we're up to. You're support will help us realize this project.

The ART Without Borders members believe that art, through its commitment and interrogation, is one of the most direct avenues for people to use to better understand each other, respect each other's values, and promote peace. Art makes the community and the world a better place in which to live. Behind the pure esthetic, the ART Without Borders members believe that artists help individuals to have the freedom and ability to make meaning, formulate ideas, ask hard questions and imagine promising alternatives for the world and ourselves.

This is why artists are such an important part of any society, but also why they are among the first ones to be the victims of human rights violation or deprivation.

ART Without Borders (ARTwb) wants to participate in the building of a much better world through its programs, and advocate for the artist's human rights in the world. ART Without Borders is a non-profit organization 501(c) (3), incorporated in April 2006, which supports the cause of artists' human rights in America and in the world.
