1) TRUE OPTIMISM DEMANDS COMPLETE HONESTY, unthinkable existential devastation endured notwithstanding—the definition of “Tragic Optimism” ~ Viktor Frank

2) Your most lofty and profound aspirations and introspective revelations mean nothing in THE HELLSCAPE OF WAR.

3) A live performance of ‘The Hammer of Doom’ WILL HARDEN YOUR WILL TO SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER.


4) Raw, soaring ultra-dramatically interwoven lines and stunning, unique sonorities from a delivered by a 100-instrument orchestra WILL SHOCK YOU INTO A HIGHER LEVEL OF consciousness and CONSCIENTIOUSNESS.

5) YOU WILL SEE MORE SHARPLY THROUGH the cruel truth-inversions now serving as public discourse.

6) EXPERIENCING 100 PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS play their hearts and souls out ensemble for you truly humbles and inspires.

7) THE ‘GREAT ANDANTE MODERATO’ delivers a monumental exposition of gravitationally intense revelatory introspection.

8) THE FINAL ‘DIRGE OF DEVASTATION’ is a fierce indictment of the eternally devastating warring ways of Western civilization.

9) THE SPIRIT OF TSO MUSIC DIRECTOR, JOSÉ LUIS GOMEZ, HAS METAMORPHOSED from that of “the Camel, who bears all heavy workloads, into that of the lion, who takes on all challenges.” ~ Also Spracht Zarathusta

10)  >>> FUTURE REGRET IS A CURSE, NOT A VIRTUE !!! <<<

Neruda (a contemporary of Bach and Mozart), and the first movement of the new Arturo Márquez 'Concerto for Trumpet' – a sustained, repeated melodic syncopation.

His tone, articulations, and musicality are masterly, while his v...
