To give us a look behind the scenes and into the creative process, Steve has set up a blog where can chart the development of this new piece of chamber music. Click here:

Support Your Community By Supporting Mount Vernon Music - August 31, 2007
Dear Friends,
Did you know that part of Mount Vernon Music’s
mission is bringing performances to those who are unable to
make the trip to a live concert because of poor health or age?
We are planning to bring a whole series of concerts to residents
of nursing homes and retirement communities in the Northeast
Texas region this season. Any of you who have spent time with
friends or relatives in long-term care facilities know how much
a visit can mean to the residents. Now add to that the power of
live musical performance, and you begin to see what a positive,
beautiful difference this service can make to people in need.
Did you know that another part of our mission is to perform and educate the young? That’s right, since MVM grew out of the
conviction that music – whether played, sung, or just listened to – is a
vital part of all of us, we are working to bring the magic of great live
music to school-age children. Our plans include in-school performances
and a special Saturday morning Storytime Concert.
We believe that these two aspects of our mission address vitally
important needs. But as with all of our work, we cannot do it without
your help. We rely on your financial contributions to allow us to help
make peoples’ lives richer through music. We thank you for your
support. By giving to Mount Vernon Music, you are supporting your
greater community.
Sincerely,
Mark Miller
President, Mount Vernon Music
