OK! Let’s talk about Joy. 
Let’s talk about blessings. 
Let’s talk about abundance
Let’s talk about being present in the moments we receive our answered prayers 🥲🙏🏾
There’s so much going on in the world, but we can never forget to find some joy. Dont let anyone take that from you. 
I am so grateful for this opportunity to have my first orchestration (EVER!) #GlideofRadiance premiered by the natsymphonydc through #TheCartographyProject at the kennedycenter. 
Thank you meiann.chen for your beautiful spirit & conducting 🙏🏾
Thank you carlos_simon_music & Jim for your priceless mentorship.
Thank NSO (players & admin) for you thoughtfulness & intention 🙏🏾
Thank you tresmcmichael malkalasky bamuthi360 & Victoria for your courage and determination to create a program like this 🙏🏾
And thank you to my budding composer and librettist community stringsfallapart theejordyndavis masonbynes_music levitaylormusic eyeneyellc livelifedeep jaylin.vinson soundliberator (& more) for being one of the best supportive music communities I’ve ever been in ❤️🙏🏾

I am still high from it, I’m still in disbelief. My 18-year-old self that couldn’t get into the composition major because of her lack of ability/lack of familiarity with music notation and music theory is overjoyed right now. 

I shared another longer snippet of this piece on my Patreon and in the next weeks, I’ll be sharing this full version of this personal recording.

Thank you to everyone who helped celebrate this moment with me and to the folks who documented it through photo and video, including masonbynes_music, my sister & dcdpr 

Thank you thank you thank you! 
Next step more music (always more music!). Never underestimate yourself and if people underestimate you, let them waste their energy and thrive in the meantime! 
Sending much love and abundance. Join me on Patreon ❤️🙏🏾
