New Track: New Year's Eve Party (Of One)

December 30, 2020

Read my latest newsletter and listen to this new track from "Words & Silences" featuring monk and writer Thomas Merton alongside my own wonderful ensemble. Here he's celebrating New Year's Eve in solitude in 1967 at his hermitage. We have all been wrestling with the urge to be social and the need to stay apart, especially over the holidays, and this is a reminder that we can still celebrate––even in solitude––with humor and wonder and joy. Listen to it here.
