About the music and Every 3 Children CD

"This is a concert of more than just music.  We hope to bring pictures of
life in a compelling, joyful musical language which connects deeply with our
listeners in this crazy world so filled with conflict and beauty.  This
Every 3 Children concert spans many years, many places (especially in
Africa), many sounds, performers, visuals, and reminds us that we are,
indeed, living on an ever shrinking planet.  Encompassing a span of styles,
the music ranges from lyric to jazz, choral to rhythmic groove, to a
soundscape collage of African field recordings coordinated with a slideshow
of original African photos.  Relating to various global and local events,
this music speaks a language of change-it has been literally "pulled" out of
me in response to African children affected by AIDS, to the Iraqi invasion
and its ongoing conflicts, to the recent Amish tragedy, to 9/11 and how it
has shaken our world, to the climate challenge, and more."  --Carol Ann
Weaver
