Tonight (Sunday) at Timucua Arts at 7:30 PM as one song among 8 others, is my premiere of José Marti's "Yo Soy Un Hombre Sincero" (“I am a sincere man”). It celebrates the power and morality of being connected with our land and speaking from the heart. It sings that morality requires that we affirm the dignity of the oppressed, and embracing suffering as a root of wisdom. Come hear the light in Keri Lee Pierson's soprano voice and the sweeping articulation of pianist Kristine Griffin. https://mailchi.mp/keithcomposer/one-of-eight-premieres-10336908

I'm not the first nor will be the last to write music for this amazing poem by the Cuban poet philospher José Martí in 1890. Keri Lee Pierson, a soprano who specializes in new music is coming in to work with pianist Hannah Sun Ripert to premiere it with 7 other new songs by composers from the Central Florida Composers Forum on August 24th at Timucua Arts Foundation.
