Achieving a musician’s dream

written by

This morning’s post was going to be the last new one for February . . . but here’s an unexpected Saturday Soundtrack post on Monday evening! I didn’t realize that the folks at BU College of Fine Arts were going to release their video about Andrew and fellow graduate student Valentina Pulido Pardo preparing to perform at Carnegie Hall. Andrew said he had a great time sharing about what music means to him and what the experience was like.

Andrew, accompanied by Richard Rivale on piano, at Carnegie Hall last month where they performed composer Jake Heggie’s art songs “Friendly Persuasions: Homage to Poulenc” 

I know my kind readers will grant me this one indulgence for the unexpected posting. Enjoy!

As always, you can keep up with Andrew’s upcoming concerts at his website: AndrewBeardenBrown.com.

Now I’ll go on my winter retreat!

More to come . . .

I am David J. Brown (hence the DJB) and I originally created this personal newsletter more than fifteen years ago as a way to capture photos and memories from a family vacation. Afterwards I simply continued writing. Over the years the newsletter has changed to have a more definite focus aligned with my interest in places that matter, reading well, roots music, heritage travel, and more. My professional background is as a national nonprofit leader with a four-decade record of growing and strengthening organizations at local, state, and national levels. This work has been driven by my passion for connecting people in thriving, sustainable, and vibrant communities.

    Lovely, David! A rightfully proud dad! The answer to, How do I get to Carnegie Hall?, hasn’t changed. Even the GPS says, Practice!.. and have talented children!

      Thanks so much for this! Yes, Andrew even answers that question, in a way, when he says in the video that he “practices . . . like a lot!” And yes, talent does help.
