 Internationally acclaimed harpist and composer Kirsten Agresta-Copely recently released her highly anticipated New Age album, Aquamarine. Inspired by her deep connection with the ocean and imbued with memories of her late mother, this album is a heartfelt homage to the woman who ignited Kirsten's passion for both music and the sea. It represents a profound moment of artistic expression and personal reflection – intertwining the power of the ocean, the beauty of her mother's memory, and the boundless depths of Kirsten’s own artistic vision.

Nomination quote from Kirsten Agresta-Copely:

“My team and I are over the moon happy and honored to be nominated for a GRAMMY® Award for my album Aquamarine. This is the first full length album recorded in our newly built studio, Casa Copely Recording, and we are so pleased to have this honor from The Recording Academy.”

Aquamarine is Kirsten’s second New Age album, and is already the winner of the 2023 Global Music Award for “Outstanding New Age Performance.” According to Classical Crossover, Aquamarine is “a brilliant music tribute…Kirsten captures the mood so perfectly, you can almost hear the seagulls in the distance. The album is delightfully unrushed, with the aimless exploration of plucked notes and arpeggios that you might expect on a holiday or, for those of us stuck grudgingly at work, a montage to play memories of happier days.” New Age Music Guide cites: “This unique voyage into the deep blue sea feels significant, timeless, and heartfelt.”

After recording and mixing the album in Brooklyn, New York, Kirsten declared, “It was healing for me to record the compositions that were created throughout my mother’s prolonged decline and transition. I consider myself fortunate to have the ability to create within a secure and safe space, where I can breathe new life into melodies that bring solace to my spirit. My hope is for listeners to experience the therapeutic power inherent in both music and the ocean.”

About Kirsten Agresta-Copely           

An international award-winning harpist and composer, Kirsten Agresta-Copely is hailed for her charismatic, telegenic presence on stage and known as the industry’s go-to harpist in the recording studio. An omnivorous artist steeped in rigorous classical training, Kirsten has performed with today’s leading artists including Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Stevie Wonder, Enya, The Roots, Lady Gaga, and Andrea Bocelli, to name a few. Her contributions to the world of music education are equally significant, having held esteemed positions at Vanderbilt University Blair School of Music and Sarah Lawrence College.

Comedian and dentist, Mike King, has built his pediatric dental practice in an unusual manner.

He incorporates comedy into his dental office in order to relax the children. Kid’s jokes, and magic tricks are all part of his treatment.

Entertaining is in his blood. His father, Sid, was owner and MC of “Sid King’s Crazy Horse Bar” in Denver. In the 70s and 80s, it was one of the largest burlesque houses west of the Mississippi. It was so famous, Clint Eastwood shot his film “Every Which Way but Loose” there.

It was only a matter of time before Mike started performing for grownups. In the comedy club circuit he’s known as “The Fifth Dentist”. You know, “Four out of five dentists recommend sugarless gum”. Well he’s the fifth! He appears weekly at Broadway Comedy Club, New York Comedy Club, and Gotham Comedy Club. He also takes his hilarious stand-up routine on the road, especially to dental conventions. Currently Mike is working on his one man show, “The Fifth Dentist.”

Mike has appeared on Comedy Central, America’s Funniest Home Videos, and An Evening at the Improv. He has opened many times for Ray Romano, and was featured in Newsweek magazine and the New York Times. He recently was selected to perform at the LA Comedy Festival.

His other passion is writing. He sold a screenplay to Susskind and Company and became a member of the Writers Guild of America East. Newline Cinemas selected his romantic comedy script to develop from over a 100 submitted. His co-writer, Juan Campanella, won an Oscar in 2010. Another screenplay, “Supermarket” , co-written with Harrison Greenbaum, has been optioned. He was also selected by Larry David to submit ideas for the “Seinfeld” show and was a consultant for “The Eligible Dentist”, a sitcom pilot starring Gene Wilder.

Mike has managed to balance his love for pediatric dentistry with his love for the entertainment business.

Patrick Olson, the creator and performer of EMERGENCE: Things Are Not as They Seem, a revolutionary theatrical experience that pushes the boundaries of conventional performance art. It seamlessly blends live, original music, stunning visual effects, and a dynamic ensemble of musicians, singers, and dancers. EMERGENCE takes its audience on a captivating journey into the deepest aspects of the human experience, posing profound questions about life, time, love, and human perception.

Patrick has a diverse background - a lifelong composer, musician, educational science publisher and producer. In 2021, he wrote, recorded, and released the album "Music For Scientists," a testament to the emotional power of the profound realizations that science has unveiled. This album serves as an homage to the people of science, whom we all deeply rely on for our understanding of the world. He took that idea and transformed it into a stage production with a band, background singers, dancers, and amazing visual elements. 

The show explores The unique Intersection of Science and Music and Inspiration from Scientific Insights: The show dives into the philosophical and intellectual depths challenging preconceptions, encourages exploration, and connects us to the fundamental mysteries of existence.
