One World Children's Ensemble

There's one more musical pursuit in my life, and that is the One World Children's Ensemble. I began directing this group in fall of 2007. It started as a group open to the community, but after just a year, I found it made sense to affiliate with a school. So, now this is a group of kids from the Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts, in grades 3 thorugh 6.

I am hoping to get some video of them up here, because these kids are pretty amazing! We sing songs from all over the world, play hand drums and xylophones, and dance. Check back here for more on "OWCE."

It's all about the love!
