AnnasGiftPosterFinalAnna’s Gift, the Way of Passion, is the second episode of the emotional journey of a gifted concert bassist who is longing for love and fire in her music and her life. The fifty-five minute story written for solo bass, concert band (also a small combo version), narrator and background visuals takes place ten years after Anna was inspired to become an artist from her studies with retired Tai Chi Master Chen.

This independent story follows Anna’s journey to find passion after Master Chen takes Anna to see a museum exhibit by the legendary cellist, Pablo Casals. The great cellist said: You cannot find passion in music by itself. You find passion from three kinds of LOVE…love of People, Love of Nature, and Love of Artistic Masterpieces.

Anna’s embarks on a concert tour of South America in pursuit of her dreams. Alan Scofield’s second story of Anna’s journey is brought to life through the brilliant musical score of Argentine bassist-composer Andres Martin.

Short videos highlight different elements in Andres Martin’s score and Alan Scofield’s Story.
