There some artists whose work literally stops you dead in your tracks. You catch your breath, transfixed, afraid that if you breathe it might fade and dissolve. Encountering art at this level triggers an immediate, intimate familiarity, yet it is unlike anything you know, only what you have hoped would be. The experience is transporting, ecstatic, poignant and achingly beautiful all at once, in a moment of meeting that you will never forget. This was my experience in first hearing the music of Adam Hurst, and even more so in seeing this video of him playing the gypsy cello. Please stop reading here and watch the video…
.... you see? You can breathe now…. Adam will be joining us for the first time at Faerieworlds: he embodies the kind of gifted artist we look for to showcase at our events. I know seeing him play live will be one of the highlights of the show that you will not want to miss. Now play the video again and watch his hands… and remember to breathe….

ReplyDelete...see. this is one of the many reasons i'm traveling from the northeast to come... i have to remind to spirit to breathe now... oops... it just passed out.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to see Adam will be playing! At my first Faerieworlds 5 years ago, I thought he would be a wonderful addition. I've seen him play in Portland for many years now - even riding his bike down Portland streets with his cello strapped to the back. So perfect!

ReplyDeleteI clicked to play the clip and my 16 yr old daughter came running when she heard the music to see what I had found. We look forward to seeing Adam in person!
