Beau Dream: Songs and other Signposts
Beau Dream (MM Piano SFCM 02, MM Viola SFSU 07) is a 38-year-old transmale musician living in San Francisco since 2000. After a brief stint in Los Angeles he returned to SF in 2012 to continue his transition and enrich his musical journey. He currently teaches private lessons, and studies voice with Suzanne Mentzer. The program includes a set of art songs, with one written by Beau’s favorite American composer, Paul Bowles; a set for solo viola which explores themes of acceptance and transformation; and an extended fixed media piece called “beginnings,” which also features a soaring violin melody.
