Buy Lara Downes' CD's and Help Haiti

Here is one last post in my series promoting piano recordings distributed through CD Baby. Remember that if you order before February 6, a portion of the purchase price of these recordings will be donated to support earthquake disaster relief in Haiti.

Lara Downes is currently Artist in Residence at the Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts at the University of California at Davis. Her latest recording is called, Dream of Me: Daydreams and night visions. She sumarizes this collection of new solo piano music with the following description:

The musical journeys you take and can’t remember in the morning. This is distinctive, timeless music by some of the best New American Romantics, including William Bolcom’s “Dream Shadows”; Aaron Kernis' richly poetic "Before Sleep and Dreams"; Adam Silverman’s “Nocturnes and Reveries” and Dan Coleman’s “Burden of Dreams”

Both the music on this CD and the performances are stunningly beautiful!

For the next week you can order Lara’s recording CD Baby and a portion of the purchase price will be donated to the Haiti earthquake relief effort.

Buy Music to Help Haiti

This afternoon I learned that CD Baby has announced that starting on January 25 they will donate $1 of their profits from every qualifying sale to the American Red Cross and Mercy Corps. The program will extend for 2 weeks and will potentially raise thousands of dollars for the relief work of these agencies.

As CD Baby is the online outlet that distributes my recordings and digital downloads, as well as those of many, many other independent artists, I have decided to match this contribution with $1 of my own for every dollar that CD Baby contributes from the sales of my products.

You can order copies of my CD's or download digital albums from my artist page on the CD Baby web site by clicking here
