“I am ever-appreciative to have been able to forge a life immersed in music: playing, conducting, composing, collaborating, teaching, and healing through music. There is still so much to be learned about and from the mysteries of this unique art form in its ability to touch audiences and artists alike as an instantly relatable language of instinctive communication. I offer my deepest thanks to those whom have passed along their own understanding of music, art and life to me along this ever-winding and evolving exploration.” – Lucas Richman
