"The 50 State Sonata Project is a large scale co-commission that is bringing new music to every corner of the US in 2016, with one violinist in each state premiering Amerigo, a new sonata for violin and piano by Stephanie Ann Boyd. This is Part I of a two year project dedicated to the life and work of John Kendall, the man who brought the Suzuki method to the US in the 1960s and was (long, long ago) Stephanie's violin teacher. The second year of this project will see a second sonata co-commissioned by 50 violinists from around the world. "                                                                     ~Stephanie Ann Boyd

I was honored to be representing violinist for Colorado. Also, with the help of University of Northern Colorado, I was able to invite Ms. Boyd from New York to be present at the premiere recital and also giving a guest lecture about music entrepreneurship.

Here is a short clip about the project:
