She is among a small few to receive Grammys in multiple genres, having received the award in jazz and classical, as well as for her work with David Bowie. Presented by NEC Jazz & Entrepreneurial Musicianship, the 2021 Grow Your Art residency featured Maria Schneider performing with the students of NEC's jazz department, as well as masterclasses, workshops, and panel discussions on music business and entrepreneurship, applicable to artists working in any genre.

Phoenix Brass Collective presents the majestic Finale from Stravinsky's Firebird. Again the members of PBC perform in separation, still practicing social distancing. This time, however, we tried something a little more refreshing. Used in many slavic literary works, the Firebird is typically portrayed as the highly coveted mark of a difficult journey or quest. Commonly described as having striking eyes and luminous plumage of red and gold, it is a bird that is known for its beauty as well as it’s danger. The bird known as the Phoenix in Greek folklore shares the same physical characteristics with the Firebird but it symbolizes something different: new life arising from the ashes of its predecessor.

This project has been a fun ride. I have learned a lot about video editing and recording and mixing! Hopefully this is the start of many more projects like this. I hope you enjoy my arrangement of the Yoshi's Island "Athletic Theme" Again, huge thanks to everyone involved!
