    Sedona AZ (March 20, 2017) – This 2017 second Piano on the Rocks International Festival, “Voyage Beyond Words” celebrates music and literature from around the globe. A “Voyage Beyond Time” where music, words, sounds and colors travel beyond the frontiers of space. It will take place this month on March 31 and April 1 and 2, 2017 in Sedona.

    Of special interest will be the opportunity for our audiences to taste the richness of composer’s imagination, to hear an extract of the wonderful story of Platero y Yo with Erdely-Sayo’s music presented in Carnegie Hall. Piano on the Rocks International Festival will present masterpieces by Schubert, Debussy, Chopin, Liszt, Obradors, Scriabin, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, Bach, Bartók, Erdely-Sayo and others surprises. The Festival will open at the Church of the Red Rocks under a beautiful sunset. The subsequent two concerts will be held at the Christ Lutheran Church.

    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.
