Tapestries of Time & An Evening with Ann Sweeten – Live at the St. George

Spring 2014

Happy Spring! Well, it may be hard to believe, but it is around the corner. I have heard the song birds, such magical harbingers of Spring, as their sweet notes seem to hover in the cold air, insisting, that yes, it is near! It sure has been one of the coldest Winters we’ve had in a long while; not just here in New England, but across the country and we are indeed, sorely in need, of a much-welcomed reprieve.

I hope 2014 has started off with a positive bang for all of you. It has indeed been so for me. I don’t know when I’ve been busier, but everything is coming together beautifully for the release of Tapestries of Time and An Evening with Ann Sweeten – Live at the St. George. Reviews have already started coming in and the Radio portion of the Campaign commences in April, just as I leave for the Florida Tour Dates.

IN THE NEWS

Purchase Tapestries of Time &
An Evening with Ann Sweeten – Live at the St. George

My new CD, Tapestries of Time, hits the streets on April 8th but advance copies are available on my website: AnnSweeten.com. The digital release date was February 14, 2014 – Valentine’s Day!

The new DVD, An Evening with Ann Sweeten - Live at the St. George, is slated for May 13th but is also available for purchase on my website now.

Here’s some of the early Media Buzz:

“Having reviewed Ann’s previous album, In the Wake, her musical evolution is evident in the deeply personal and heartfelt compositions of Tapestries of Time. The sensitivity she brings to each piece draws the listener into a musical world of emotionally inspiring melodies and rich visual imagery for the mind’s eye. While the focus of the album is on “time”, what I was most struck by was the sense of timelessness that is evoked by Ann’s elegant compositions, artful arrangements and flawless performance.”
—Music and Media Focus, 5 Stars

“Ms. Sweeten has the fingers of an angel and the heart of a warrior. She has won her own personal fight with cancer and helps others to do the same, all the while trying to protect the animals that get thrown in the middle. Some people are heroes. They don’t wear capes but they do fly. Ann Sweeten is one of those. Music is her super power and she uses it with dead on laser accuracy. Beauty, grace and selflessness come out of every note. If you want an album that will take your breath away, you won’t want to miss Tapestries of Time.”
—New Age Music Reviews, 5 Stars

“Having such a stunning success, Ann Sweeten does not stop in her creative work; she goes further and her music becomes more profound, emotional… there is so much poetry in the music of Ann Sweeten. All her compositions are exquisite and bright. Listening to Tapestries of Time you can easily plunge in the inner world of the artist, full of deep and sincere emotional experiences. Ann Sweeten is a virtuoso pianist and her arrangements are truly perfect. The music is filled with contemplation and love..”
—Serge Kozlovsky, 5 Stars

“Very many acoustic threads have woven this bright musical tapestry which depicts the fullness of Ann’s life, calling forth surprisingly subtle, harmonious, and delicate music. It must be noted that Ann’s friends bring many bright colors to this album. All these musicians have worked together before, but Ann’s talent elicits a pure chemical reaction from their collaboration, which is capable of bringing forth an entire world of genuine emotion and luminous feelings.”
—Ascentor

Eleven additional scores have been added to the existing Sheet music Catalog in a new format, which should prove to be much more user-friendly to my Musician Fans. Don’t forget to send in your requests as always!

Some of you may have noticed if you’ve been on Facebook lately that I’m using my pages not only for Music Career updates but to voice concerns over the Environment and the plight of Animals everywhere. I hope you’ll take a look and consider taking action on the various issues. It only takes a few seconds but can contribute a great deal toward making a difference and getting our Planet and all its inhabitants to a better place!

I will reach out again when I return from sunny Florida with more news/reviews from the Media campaign, concerts and more. In the meantime, let the early signs of Spring enfold you with renewed energy and vitality!

Best wishes,
Ann Sweeten
