Grand Vision Foundation is known for hosting talented musicians on our stage โ but we also have some on our very own staff!
This Saturday, one of our Teaching Artists and Team Taiko instructor Yeeman โManManโ Mui will perform with their Taiko ensemble group Mujo Dream Flight at FandangObon, a festival that brings together music and dance from Mexico, Japan, Nigeria and New Guinea. ManMan teaches recorder and percussion in our Meet the Music programs and is a founding member of Mujo Dream Flight, which highlights trans/non-binary artists and their journeys with identity and belonging. Support ManMan and Mujo Dream Flight at FandangObon tomorrow, October 5, 2024, from 3-6 PM at the Japanese American National Museum Plaza.
Nicholas Miller, another of our Teaching Artists, is a gospel musician and producer. He just released a hopeful contemporary gospel track, โStill Believe.โ Last month, he also released the EP Along the Way on top of teaching three of our MTM programs: Recorders, Roots of Music (RoMP) and Percussion. Listen to โStill Believeโ on YouTube, Spotify or Apple Music.
Our Development and Advancement officer Joselyn Wilkinson teams up with her husband to form the folk-rock duo, Joselyn and Don. Their first new song in two years, โChoose Loveโ features Grand Annex favorite Chris Pierce. Joselyn and Don were recently featured on Wildwood Flower Radio Hour on KXLU and are in the process of recording a new album. Listen to โChoose Loveโ on YouTubeย or Spotify.
Grand Vision is so proud of our staff musicians and is thrilled to support them in their musical careers!
