Together We Give.

Today is Giving Tuesday! We have so much to be grateful for, and during this season of celebration and joy we all have a chance to turn to others and consider how we can contribute to our society and community.

Every year Greenleaf is grateful to be able to give to social justice and other causes. This year we would like to be with our community of musicians and send our support to the Festival Of New Trumpet Music (FONT Music).

A New York-based nonprofit, FONT Music has been supporting emerging players and celebrating creative pioneers for 20 years. Every year, FONT Music commissions several dozen creative artists whose work involves the trumpet. In this way FONT aims to grow the field and engender a feeling of support and encouragement to all the musicians who dedicate their lives to this practice.If you’re in the New York City area, join me next Friday, December 9th and Saturday, December 10th as I play, for the first time in a room together, my new book of quintet music, Songs of Ascent. We’ll play at The Owl Music Parlor in Brooklyn. Tickets are by donation to FONT Music here.

Alternatively, please join us if you can in supporting this nonprofit with a tax-deductible contribution, at fontmusic.org/donate.

Thank you and best wishes of the season!
