“Blue” Gene Tyranny Kickstarter Campaign

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

This past November we produced a joint solo-piano concert for “Blue” Gene Tyranny and Lubomyr Melnyk.  The concert was a great success in large part for the gift of “Blue” Gene Tyranny composing a new piece in honor of the occasion. The piece, entitled “George Fox Searches,” was inspired by the beautiful 15th Street Friends Meetinghouse of Manhattan where the concert was held.

Our professional live recording came out terrific, but we’d love to have the opportunity to document a performance on a piano of our choosing, since the piano at the Meetinghouse had some bad keys. Tyranny has other new pieces, as well, which we would document in studio at the same time.

We are humbly asking for your contributions to make this happen.  In return for your generous support of the studio time, we’re sharing the audio and video documentation from the November 12, 2009 concert, as well as opportunities to receive advance recordings from the studio sessions we aim to book.

Please note that the Lubomyr Melnyk portion of the evening will be made available separately at a later date.

Thank you all for your interest and support.
