Current Project: WORLD with music and lyrics composed by Joan Schubert

Joan is currently working on a new piece entitled WORLD. As usual, Joan's muses used  humor and fun to guide her to write a dance tune in the style of Prince Rogers Nelson. The piece is coming along well and we all hope it opens your hearts and inspires you to move!

Butterfly by Herbie Hancock

Joan and Tony Axtell, sound engineer and musician, are finished with the audio portion of Butterfly by Herbie Hancock.  If you have heard this interesting and funky tune, you know it will deliver in both sound and energy.  Not only was Tony the engineer, he played bass, keyboard, and added percussion and sound effects.  Pianist, Donnie La Marca, performed the piano solo near the end of the tune and balanced perfectly with Joan's flute sound.  Joan played the melody and played the improvised solo in the middle of the piece.  Give it a listen!

 The Celestial Suite

One of Joan's latest compositions is a short, classical piece written for flute and piano. The writing is in the style of composer, Erik Satie, an eccentric French composer living in the 19th and early 20th centuries.  Joan's intention for this piece was for it to be dreamy, impressionistic, and for the listener to keep wanting more.  Ms. Linnea Champ, performing on a Steinway grand piano, accompanies Joan in this video.
