Charles Coleman

I came across this heartfelt letter, written at the @strangersproj location in the Oculus. This person’s message is touching and revealing about the cruel world of being single today.

Thank you, whoever you are, for laying your heart on the line.

DT is a wart in our society, using King George type tactics in his abuse of power. The antithesis of why we created the United States of America in the first place!

My father, Val Coleman, interviewed by CBS news on 9/11/01 from his apartment 5 blocks away from what used to be the Twin Towers. He always gave profound and thoughtful statements in any discussion. And so he does here. #nineeleven #neverforget

Happy 90th Birthday to one of my heroes, Arvo Pärt!

So, is a loving relationship between two people considered to be some sort of privilege these days? Something that we poor humble people don’t deserve? Aren’t we supposed to be better than that?

Just wanna say:

A.I. don’t have shit on me! Or any creative artists!
The greatest ones are broken, damaged and impaired in some way. And they utilize their work based on those awesome imperfections.
A.I. has no idea what that is!
Just sayin’. #AIsucks #performingarts #composers #imperfection

I was compelled to look at #AlmaDeutscher’s Cinderella. Definitely an #opera that appeals to younger audiences with an endearing message. And admittedly I was a touched at the moment when the Prince found her locked up in the basement. I’ll just leave it at that. 😏

Last night, I sang Poulenc’s “Hotel” in a hotel room. How often does that happen. ☺️

Yaaaaay! My first TROLL on my YouTube channel!
I feel so incredibly distinctive and relevant now.
Whohoo! 😁

This first recording of #JohnAdams #Harmonielehre is now 40 years old! For a lot of us #American #composers who started writing in the #80's, this masterpiece was, and still is, an everlasting inspiration. Thank you John for giving us a more noticeable voice in our seemingly indifferent country.

Just finished arranging “Hole in the Earth” by the Deftones for Orchestra! I did it only because a lovely lady friend asked me to. 😁

So, I just did my first music job on MuseScore. On the whole, it’s very good. Certainly better than Finale. But maybe a few steps below Dorico. That’s the long story short!

A message to all the women who ghosted me in my crappy dating life. Do you recognize this piece? #opera #classical #datingsucks #trumpsucks #thearts #music #nokings

The beauty of THE ARTS is in its flaws and imperfections. Ergo, AI has no idea what that is. You’re welcome, Debbie Downers! 😡

Pianist, Min Kwon will be playing my “To be Beautiful” piece, along with several works by my colleagues. We living and American composers are generally neglected and repressed in mainstream society! Let’s do something about that!

After about a year and a half, I decided to go back to X (formally known as Twitter) and posted the following. I’m curious if it garners any reaction. Or am I just tilting at windmills? #TheArts #classical #humanrights #TrumpSucks

Now look! I may be an idiot. But one thing I’m not is an idiot!

Looking forward to helping out my colleagues tonight to honor our moms at @angeletto.opera.nights.
Moms are the best! #opera #restaurant #food #music

I am not that religious. But I hope Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle will be the next Pope. I appreciate his endearing humility, comparable to Francis.

Listen, you King Trump wannabe: You think your efforts in eliminating the NEA will shut us up?! For the record, the NEA has been on life support anyway for many years. So, its demise won’t keep us American artists from creating and promoting our awesome work. Sorry, DT.

#TrumpSucks #NEA #thearts

Passing thought:

Do we really care for each other? Or do we hate Trump more?

Got a gig tonight! You should be there too! ☺️

Awesome video about the history and demise of Finale by Tantacrul. It spells out everything with multiple detail and amusing animations. Not to mention, a few extra tidbits. The ending is genius!

This awesome performance of Kilar’s ‘Orawa’ featuring my buddy Kristjan Järvi and the Baltic Sea Philharmonic is one of the reasons why I don’t want to do what two of my best friends did to themselves in the last year.

Just finished "Distant Beacon" for Trumpet & Piano, scheduled to be performed by Composers Concordance at their 'Duo Motion' concert May 18 at St Marks on the Bowery, NYC. Written in memory of my buddy, Juan del Bosco.

R.I.P. Juan Del Bosco. One of my dearest friends who was an awesome tenor and lovely gentleman. Will miss him dearly. #opera #tenor #mexico #mexican #morelia
