Last October I was asked to play a piece with the Bel Canto Company, a local professional chorus. They were doing La Muerte Sonriente by Diana Syrse which had a part(s) for Aztec Death Whistle and ocarina. Video from the concert is below.

Sweet Birdie Mazurka
October is ocarina awareness month....aka Ocatober. Four US-based ocarina ensembles each take a week in October to post daily ocarina videos. This was my contribution. The "Sweet Birdie" Mazurka for Ocarina and Piano by Charles Le Thière. I used an approximately 100 year old ocarina by Charles Ullmann. I'm assisted on piano by Stephanie Lindley.

Shooting Star Ocarina Octet
This is my debut with the Shooting Star Ocarina Octet (formerly septet) playing the contrabass G ocarina. I'm incredibly grateful to have been asked to join this talented group of ocarinists. Please subscribe to the YouTube Channel to make sure you don't miss any of the monthly videos.
