(2008) At the Crossroads of Time
Charity concert to benefit We Hear New York

“At the Crossroads of Time” is a tribute to the connections we form throughout our lifetime and how they are used to progress ourselves as individuals, groups and as a society. Through language and communication, connections and relationships are developed with those around us beginning from the moment we are born. We start our worlds by linking with our close and our extended family – our parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers and our aunts, uncles, and cousins. We then expand our circle to include friends and, as we get older, connections are developed further to include lovers of a more intimate nature. Interspersed are links we make with employers, employees, and colleagues.

Each connection we have made forms a web that unites different portions of our lives to one another and helps us to expand ourselves, to broaden our horizons and make decisions regarding our future. Our individual circles are extended - thus, by connecting with each other we build relationships that expand our individual worlds. This helps us move forward as pairs, groups and as a whole society.

These connections cannot occur without the ability to communicate with each other. Communication is dependent upon the expression and understanding of language – whether it is the spoken word or the language of music. Individuals who have difficulties hearing will have trouble communicating, and the connections that we all develop throughout our lives will not be as easy for these individuals to experience. Imagine losing out on the capacity to develop a web of relationships merely because communication is difficult.

We are at a time in society ripe for change and advancement. Here we all stand, at this crossroads of time, relying upon the unions we have made to form decisions about the path we will take to our future. It is these connections that propel us forward…and communication is the mitigating factor.
