During this time of year, when we gather with the people we love, music becomes nourishment for the spirit, creating the perfect atmosphere to reflect on those most in need, who, in this world of so much inequity, are far too many.
The most in need are not only those who lack economic resources, the victims of the unjust and immoral wars that afflict the globe, or the sick without access to healthcare or medicine. They are also the people around us who feel lonely or exhausted, for whom a simple word of kindness can brighten their day.
The spirit of this season, which transcends religions and beliefs, invites us to compassion, to awareness of others, and to the recognition that we are all part of the same human family, spread across the world and all its cultures.
I hope this spirit touches your heart and inspires you to be better, to offer your company, a kind word, or even— for those of us who are musicians— a song. It is also a time to be grateful for life, for experiences, for the people around us, and even for the difficult moments that have helped us grow and become who we are.
It is also the perfect time to plan, to renew our energy, and to set ambitious goals, not from the desire to “have,” but from the aspiration to “be.” To be better, to be more human, and to continue growing day by day.
I want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for your presence and support. Your light and energy give meaning to my work and are the force that motivates me to keep creating and sharing.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I wish you a holiday season filled with love, peace, health, and joy, wherever you may be.
Happy Holidays!
