Various Artists: Earth Music - Ten Years of Meridian Music: Composers in Performance
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Earth Music commemorates a decade of musical art presentations by the forward-thinking Bay Area Gallery founded on and operating under the firm conviction that significant art increases social, philosophical and spiritual change.
