C G Ryche Performing at Palm Springs Arts Institue Masters Series

It seems ever since this summer, when I spent hours in jazz clubs in Chicago,

I have been getting more into music... the sound and the visual.

I am a volunteer mentor with the Friends of the Arts Institute of Palm Springs High

School thanks to a top notch teacher and counselor named

Richard Kravitz. I will talk more about him and what he has done for PSHS in a future post...

Richard Kravitz is designing a better world for the students

of Palm Springs High School.

One of the programs he has put together for the Arts Institute is the Masters Program.

The first performer for this was C.G. Ryche.

I was overwhelmed by this percussionist...

C. G. and his wife were so very generous with their

time, they came from LA to Palm Springs for no money just to

show our students his music and to light a fire under them about

what they can achieve. Thank you C. G. Ryche.

And I just saw your

performance on PBS it was incredible.

C. G. has Performed & Choreographed percussion for companies including: The NFL, Disney, Nike, Pixar, Hollywood Picrtures, Major MMA events and PBS.
