She is an MTNA Nationally Certified Teacher with a degree in Piano Performance and over 15 years of teaching experience. As a composer she has contributed to the film industry, and her work as been featured on international radio broadcast.

Furthermore, she is active in collaborations with other composers from all over the world; she has worked with composers and musicians living all over Europe, the Middle-East and India. 

        Nearly all of Mrs. Vlasse’s music has been premiered; most recently, her music has been performed by pianists Nadia Spachenko, Mina Perry, Robert Thies, Bryan Pezzone, Brendan White, Tri Nguyen (France), Arsen Jamkotchian, Carlos Marquez (Spain), Joaquim Bonal Sarro (Spain) and Harout Senekeremian, sopranos Hila Plitmann and Sangeeta Kuar, flutist Ying Li, chamber trio Artifacto

        David Wilcox, the director and choreographer of the Longbeach Ballet, has also choreographed dance to Danaë's music.

       People experience myriad transitional and, often, ambiguous emotional states; this album explores an intersection of the conscious mind and the subconscious while caught in dreams, memories, and longing. The album presents these concepts against the backdrop of transitions in nature, as portrayed through the ebb-and-flow of ocean tides, the passage of day into night, and the cycle of the seasons

Danaë Xanthe Vlasse has been praised by critics and audiences for her neo-Romantic writing, which has been described as “a current of old-world tension and modern angst.” Critics have also praised her patient and regimented approach to composition as “crafted with absolute depth and emotional presence.” Mrs. Vlasse’s native France is a clear influence in her harmonic language and melodic ideas, while her Greek heritage guides her Classical approach to structure with balanced form and carefully measured phrases. Mrs. Vlasse lives in Los Angeles, where she is engaged in music-making with the finest musicians of Southern California, and she also collaborates with musicians and other composers from all over the world.

Change your mind – human “books” share their stories

It’s easy to judge a book by its cover. But what if you could “borrow” it and sit down and talk with the subject about aging, near death experiences, communicating with extraterrestrials, being illegally healed, and more.

You can do just that on Sept. 23, during the FREE Human Library Event. You’ll have the opportunity to borrow human books in different stations throughout the library. In four, 30-minute sessions participants select up to four human books, listen to their short presentations, and engage in dialogue with them to gain understanding. The live human books will courageously share their stories of being marginalized, categorized, or stigmatized for their differences.

The event, organized by the Sedona International City of Peace, the Rotary Club of Sedona and Sedona Public Library, ispart of a global movement for social change, having the potential to alter our hearts and minds as to how we regard those in our community who struggle with all kinds of societal judgments and stigmas.

“This is a crucial time in our community to choose healing from the loss of respect and dignity we have displayed with each other.  Thank you to our Human Books for being courageous in sharing your story and vulnerabilities.   Thank you to our readers for your willingness to look inside at what is separating us and bring new levels of understanding.", Margaret Joy Weaver, Board President Sedona International City of Peace and Event Manager

Over 40 human books will be available and include the following titles:

“Aging Means Declining”– Retired and getting older, this subject is expected to decline as he approaches death. Instead, he has found passion, purpose, life mission and legacy, and says “I’m just warming up at 75.”

“Dancing with Death”– Two near death experiences from medical experiences and one from a violent attack, had her discover who she really is. Dancing with death can bring a total rebirth.

“A Man and his Extraterrestrial Friends”– From a depressed teenage musician to “the guy who talks to aliens,” he now shares messages of spiritual evolution through close encounters with aliens. Often called weird, he is fully expressed at the core.

“Illegally Healed”– “Cannabis saved my life. When people know that I have used cannabis for healing they assume that I am lazy, immature, escaping, a pot head, a loser and a drug addict. As a cannabis advocate, I want to be a model of the typical cannabis consumer.”

I talked with grammy Award winner Paul Avgerinos about his new release Mindfulness. Paul Avgerions is an American composer, performer and producer of new-age music whose recordings for Round Sky Music are also classified in the genres of ambient, space, world, World Fusion, electronic and drone. Avgerinos also owns Studio Unicorn in Redding, Connecticut, which produces a wide variety of music for film, TV, commercials and albums of all kinds. Avgerinos is recognized as “One of the Giants of New Age Music“ by Jim Brenholts, All Music Guide. Avgerinos graduated from The Peabody Conservatory of Johns Hopkins University in 1981 as a full scholarship honors student in Bass Violin. He served as Principal Bass in the orchestras of Italy, Hong Kong and Venezuela and toured with Charles Aznavour and Buddy Rich before opening his own recording studio in 1985, Studio Unicorn.  Most of the Avgerinos New Age albums are careful blends of acoustic and electronic instruments, both well known and obscure, from around the world. Known for his sound design and layering talent, Avgerinos also plays Bass Violin, Cello, Guitars, Keyboards and Sings on his recordings. Inspired by Enya, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis and his orchestral background, Avgerinos often uses Romantic and Impressionistic techniques as he composes and arranges his New Age productions. Often employing wordless choirs, he sometimes uses lyrics as in his album of Sacred Chant, Phos Hilaron, and his album GNOSIS, which utilizes Greek Orthodox Chanting. Garden of Delight is his most critically acclaimed recording to date having won awards for Best World Album of the Year and CD of the Month on Echoes.Collaboration with Peter Kater on his Red Moon album yielded a final five Grammy Nomination in 2004. Best Album awards were also earned in 2006 and 2005 as well. Avgerinos's music has been in constant steady rotation on Music Choice, Sirius XM, Echo
