Leonard goes to Australia

Read all about it. Leonard Goes to Australia

Yep, it’s true. Oh I wish it were I making headlines in Australia, but CHERYL LEONARD is. And, it’s big. She has been asked by the Australian National University in Canberra to perform her Antarctic compositions.

If you love creativity at its finest and appreciate the strivings of artists, you will not want to miss this opportunity to support in a direct and conscious way this AMAZINGLY, Creative, Talented musician and composer.

I call her the Andy Goldsworthy of sound and music. A couple years ago Cheryl received a grant from the National Science Foundation Antarctic Artists and Writers Program and went to Antarctica to record the sounds make them into compositions culminating in a CD entitled Chattermarks Antarctica.

Not only has she made compositions using everything from her field recordings sounds from under the glaciers and a chorus of sea lions, she makes her own instruments for the compositions from bones and shells and rocks.

So here is the gig. Cheryl is raising funds to get to herself to Australia.

You can purchase any number of really cool things to make this happen. You can help by buying everything from Penguin Music Stickers $5, to a copy of her CD, $15, up to $1,000 where Cheryl will write a new composition and dedicate it to you. Check it out.

Here is her fund raising website which is clever, professional and informative.

From A proud Aunt spreading the word for this most deserving talent.
