Fauré set to music a poem about a flower withered by the wind (fresh one moment, gone the next). Feels right for a season turning.June closes the second quarter of 2026. Some things stay rooted into July. Some things the wind takes; and I say “let it.”This heat will wither other thing lol.May mental, financial, and physical health blossom. May we celebrate real talent, not just wins and losses. May our Supreme Court stand for what’s just for every citizen. May faith, love, and our connection to God blossom. May hate, superiority, fear mongering, corruption, and greed wither. May friends who change and consistently show lack of care and/or support (especially rejecting your efforts to save it) be blown away. Love to every eye reading this. And extra love to my fellow artists pouring healing into this world while still feeling scared by it; I see you. Support yours still. #explorepage #foryoupage #frenchpoetry #faure #edward2know by @edward2know

Thanking the ancestors and God for moving us higher and higher. I can look up and forwards because they put their bodies on the line. They gave us resilience, wisdom, awareness, grace, humbleness, intellect, beauty, faith and art. Here is an arrangement of “A Paraphrase” by Ralph Simpson (1933 -2024) which combines an American spiritual on baroque style accompaniment. 🎹 Dana ScottHappy #Juneteenth, higher and higher soldiers of the cross, soldiers of justice and soldiers of #freedom.#blacktenor #blackcomposer #blackaccompanist by @edward2know

Grateful to spend Juneteenth tell the story of the great poet Paul Lawrence Dunbar who wanted his deepest art to be just as (or more) accepted and admired as his performative art. Trilogy OperaMask in the Mirror - Richard Thompson#edward2know by @edward2know

At our recent Candlelight Classics performance at Seabrook Senior Living, we shared music by George Gershwin, Marc Blitzstein, and Kurt Weill—composers who helped create a distinctly American sound by blending opera with jazz, Broadway, and popular song. Their music reflects just one chapter of America's rich musical story. On August 22, we'll continue that journey with I Hear America Singing at the Thompson Park Theatre Barn, exploring the folk songs, spirituals, and traditions that inspired generations of American composers and helped shape the sound of our nation. America has always been a chorus rather than a solo. Through opera, folk song, spirituals, and popular music, countless voices have contributed to our shared musical heritage. 🎶 I Hear America Singing📅 August 22, 2026 • 7:00 PM📍 Thompson Park Theatre Barn • Lincroft, NJ Featured: Jonathan R. Green (@jongbass) - baritone, Rebecca Eng - piano, Corinne Schaefer (@schaefercorinne) - soprano, Edward Washington ll (@edward2know ) -tenor #America250 #CreativeOperations by @edward2know
