Two Upcoming Collaborations

02.13.2014 by Heather Mitchell-Buck //

If you’re living in the Northeastern United States, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve got a case of the winter blues by now. But don’t let all of that snow keep you indoors any longer – come check out Mark H’s two upcoming collaborations in the second half of February. These exciting performances are sure to lift your spirits and get you ready for spring!

In the first performance, Mark is performing with Opera UnMet, a collaboration of vocal artists, musicians and actors from New York, Washington, DC, and Boston, in The Ties that Bind: A Unique Musical Celebration of Black History. The performance is taking place in New York on Saturday evening, February 22; find out everything you need to know here.

This FREE performance takes place at the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage on Friday, February 28 at 6pm. Can’t be there for the live performance? It will also be available via live stream on the Kennedy Center website. Check out all the details here.

Instagram post 2187200705110281113_1429089292 I have much to be thankful for in my life but I’m dedicating today’s appreciation and love to this beautiful, spirited warrior of a girl I have the privilege of calling my niece. Always strong, she redefines what it means to “have heart” and reminds me that life is such a precious gift. I love you ❤️
Instagram post 2184568427062372594_1429089292 In Georgia at #TallulahFalls with Kristen on a long overdue getaway. Lots of mist, lots of stairs (didn’t skip leg-day!) and the cutest baby goat named Moo!  #randomactsofliving #goatsontheroof🐐 #georgiaonmymind
Instagram post 2167888250320222206_1429089292 Always great to have taiko visitors from other groups come by and give us a sense of perspective! Halloween perspective came to @miyakotaiko practice all the way from Argentina in the form of super-passionate taiko player, @marina_ruuu ! Thanks for coming by and sharing your story and enthusiasm!
Instagram post 2156666480858815148_1429089292 @nendaiko today’s (well, recent) challenge brings to mind the smallest drum I ever made which was for my niece on her 1st birthday. #smallestdrum #randomactsoftaiko #uncletaiko #taikolove
