    An Elephant, a Swan, a Dove and a Jaguar will join artists from around the world during the First Piano on the Rocks International Festival

    logo_pianoontherocksSedona AZ (April 11, 2016) – This 2016 first Piano on the Rocks International Festival, “From Paris to Sedona” celebrates great music by French composers and composers who lived in Paris. It will take place this week on April 15,16, 17, 2016 in Sedona.

    Of special interest will be the opportunity for our audiences to taste the richness of Parisian artistic life during the 1830s when Paris was a center of the new Romanticism. Piano on the Rocks will present masterpieces by Franck, Debussy, Ravel, Poulenc, Chopin, Liszt, Thalberg and Erdely-sayo and others.

These three concerts will feature international pianist and artistic director of the Festival : Sandrine Erdely-Sayo — described as electrifying by the Philadelphia Inquirer and winner of international competitions– and Helene Tysman, pianist, laureate of the Warsaw International Chopin Piano Competition.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible.
