I don’t ask this often, but I cannot be more serious about asking you to do this. Sticks went to school with an extremely talented young classical pianist: Daniel Newman Lessler. When I say extremely talented, I’m not exaggerating: This kid is amazing. A prodigy. He is also one of the nicest kids I’ve ever known.
Yo-Yo Ma is calling musicians to a collaborative effort on Dona Nobis Pacem, and Danny has a submission in there. He’s currently in sixth place…but I would love to see him win an opportunity to record this with Yo-Yo Ma. Please listen to his submission and if you like it, vote for him. No formal registration is necessary; just an email confirmation of your vote.
You’ll be rewarding a teenager with a terrific heart and magnificent talent.
Vote for Danny here. And thank you in advance.
