Despair, Solace and the Unknown

By Mabel Aragon

Despair, solace and the unknown, the culprit behind what many are experiencing during this pandemic and the inspiration behind a musical collaboration between John Acevedo and Christina Linhardt, entitled The Spirit Solitude

Mabel Aragon spoke to these distinguished artists who shared their passion for music, dance and appreciation for words that captivate emotion, transport an audience to a particular time and place, and create a lasting memory. 

“[This piece] captures what’s going on in society right now, although it’s a very brief soliloquy of what’s happening.” — John Acevedo, Pacific Symphony Musician

“The writing part was easy–writing the poem because the way John performed it and the piece and how he arranged it just spoke immediately to me; but the painstaking part was getting it to fit right into the music because John is a virtuoso.” — Christina Linhardt, Poet, Singer and Writer
