Palisadean Post




 

Music is the universal language that knows no boundaries or barriers. It can transport us to foreign lands, inspire new thoughts and open places in our memory banks. It is a reflection of the inner soul, and it is always in my heart. When there are no words to describe one's emotions, I am grateful to be able to speak through my music. Please come in and visit my world.

    Composer Adrienne Albert has been featured in numerous articles about her recent Continental Harmony premiere in Alaska. Homer Tribune, Homer News, and Anchorage Daily News

    From a member of the Homer Community Chorus:
    Just wanted to personally thank you for the music you composed for our community. It touched many, many people. How you were able to capture the feel of us without actually living here for years was simply amazing. It completely moved me to tears. I spoke with you after our rehearsal in Kenai and was just sobbing….it was so wonderful to actually be a part of your music. I myself met a personal triumph this past weekend. I was able to attain that goal through your music. You will never quite know how your music has left a track of prints across my heart and a stirring in my soul for more! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

    Sincerely,

    Guiguite Yett

I found her voice refreshing, more popish and not so much of... more
