News

Hello Everyone and welcome back. Hopefully the cold of winter is behind us and we can all look forward to some beautiful warm spring weather! Things are quite busy around here these days and the very exciting news is that we will soon be making a special announcement regarding a "once in a lifetime" performance and my next television special which is being put together at this very moment. My entire team on both coasts and in between, have been working on this one for some time now, and this will truly be a most remarkable event. As always, Fan Club members will get the news first so if you haven't already joined, visit the page and sign up.

2008 is going to be a very exciting year for me and I am looking forward to meeting many of you on the road in the coming months and sharing this incredible journey with all of you.

For those of you that have written me through this site and the new MY Space, I thank you for your wonderful comments and support. It is really nice to hear from you and to get to know some of you personally, so please keep them coming.

Okay, time to get back to work on some new music. Until next time my friends, have a wonderful spring and I'll see you at the show!

Hello my friends, I would first like to wish everyone a very happy and healthy New Year and thank you all for your wonderful continued support this past year. If it weren't for you, my friends and fans, none of this would be possible. 2007 was a great year for me personally and all I can say is 2008 here we come!

So much is going on these days that I'm not sure where to begin. The big news is that PBS is delivering the first National broadcast of "Forever and Beyond," on January 15th in full High Definition! The show will be aired on PBS HD stations across the country simultaneously on this date and regularly in their programming thereafter. I am thrilled and honored to be a part of the PBS family and to be featured on such a wonderful network. I grew up watching Sesame Street on Channel 13 WNET in New York and now just to think that I will be appearing on that same channel is for me, astonishing and truly the fulfillment of a dream. I hope you can tune in! Air dates are listed here.

I have recently joined forces with some legendary promoters who are working at this moment to bring the show to Europe, Asia, and Africa this coming year as well as the U.S. and South America. Show dates are close to being announced so please check the tour page often for all the latest venues and news.

We have also started a My Space page for those that utilize their service, the address is: www.myspace.com/calthecomposer stop by and leave a comment or just say "Hello."

Well that's about it for now. Once again, my best and sincere wishes to all for a fantastic New Year that finds you living out your dreams. Thanks for being a part of mine.

Hello Everyone, thanks for stopping by. I hope that this posting finds you all happy, healthy and living out your dreams. This has always been my favorite time of year; family, friends and all that wonderful Christmas music. The approach of a new year and the promise of tomorrow. Magical stuff there!

PBS stations across the country are scheduling "Forever and Beyond" beginning December 15th. Check here to see if your local PBS station is listed. if not, phone or write them and request the program so they can include it in their programming. The DVD home video release and "Forever," the new live CD will be released shortly to record stores everywhere. Until then both will be available only through PBS television stations or this web-site.

We have been busy prepping for my upcoming tour and have welcomed on board some incredible new musicians as part of my band. We have Mr. Michael Fawcett taking over as my vocal director, lending his incredible voice to my music as well as the beautiful and talented Kerri Javorka, Laurie-Beth Mraz and Jessica Calamera. These four together, under Michael's direction have got to be truly, one of the most inspiring vocal ensembles I have ever heard. I am anxious to introduce them to you on the road this year.

We have also brought in the amazing talents of Keyboardist/Synth player, Leroy Hankins and perhaps the most versatile and talented young guitarist I have ever encountered, Joe Gattuso. The new live show will also feature Aerial Dancers, Flamenco Dancers, Tribal dancers and a few surprises. Check the "Tour" page for the latest dates and venues.

Until next time my friends, have a wonderful holiday, enjoy each moment, and I'll see you at the show. Oh, and Happy New Year!

Well, here we are with another summer behind us already, it certainly is scary the way time does truly "fly." I do hope that you are all enjoying the brisk autumn weather and the colorful foliage, it really is beautiful and quite inspiring.

Lots happening over here these days! We are pressing forward with my European tour and we are firming up plans to bring the show to Asia next year as well. We are also planning the North American dates and some very "special" performances along with my next television special.

I will also be releasing my new album sometime after the new year. This one is very dear to me and will be a bit different in that it will be comprised of mostly what I call my "intimate" material. These are very personal pieces that carry a lot of meaning for me and are generally more ambient and introspective than the pieces on "Forever," and most of "Horizon." It will be a good one to curl up with on a cold winter night by a fire or sitting by the window on a gray, rainy day. Some of these tracks are my own personal favorites and we will be posting some samples in the coming weeks right here on this site. You can hear one of the tracks "Morning Mist," set to a slide show of some production photos taken during the making of "Forever and Beyond," on the Videos page. A lot of these pictures have never been seen before and come from my own collection. I hope you enjoy it. Until next time my friends, follow your dreams, take care and God bless!
