PEACE (PAZ) Coming This Weekend by Maria Flurry
When I was in high school, a friend gave me an album by Paul Winter. Each night, the track that soothed my ragged soul the most was Trilogy. The ambient nature sounds and improvised musical additions from the singer’s fellow musicians put me at ease. I did, indeed, lay my down burden to rest peacefully until the next day.
Recently, I get the feeling from the people I meet, my friends, and my family that people are generally carrying a heavy burden these days. Even this first festive week in December is over-full of concerts, kids’ events, year-end obligations. Our time and strength are divided. 2022 flew by and who knows what 2023 holds.
I have had foot surgery recently and my mother is almost 90 with nine decades to perfect her strong will. A friend’s health worries me, while I grieve loved ones. This week, I am performing while organizing a tour and arranging music to be performed in 2023. My poor camel does groan at the weight.
So I give myself the gift of laying down my burden at the Elks’ Theatrethis coming Sunday afternoon. New friends will join Henry and me in the audience while we turn ourselves over to the music and movement of cherished colleagues, Chris and Lena Jácome. If you've not yet met the Jácomes, I invite you to watch their short video below.
In my next email to you, I will write more about why it is a sure bet that the Jácomes will create a rich environment where a person can take a real break. Meanwhile, won’t you consider joining me to lay down your burden and feel the peace of the season? If you can't join me in Prescott on Sunday, please find your paz at the same show, this Saturday, at the Vista Center for the Arts in Surprise, AZ. All tickets are available at AZPhil.org.
Say Hello to Jácome Flamenco
A beautiful, inspiring introduction to Chris & Lena Jácome and their approach to their performances.
