Familia

Arturo O'Farrill and Chucho Valdés - Familia - Three Revolutions

Welcome to Art of the Arrangement, my second ArtistShare® fan-funded project. 

The effort will enlist the talents of living, historical arrangers to handcraft new works for the project, orchestrated for large ensemble.  Through the lens of these new works, I will forge a set of my own compositions and arrangements to round out the vision of Art of the Arrangement.

Acknowledging that the musical arrangement itself is a celebrated, unique, and vital art form, Art of the Arrangement will directly involve fans in the creative process of the arranging, from the initial creative spark to the final, recorded version. Participants will be able to interact in person with these celebrated arrangers and me, as the project transitions from initial idea, to production, and ultimately to the completed recording. 

As the project develops, you will be able to follow the creative process through videos, audio clips, photos, downloads and more. Become an integral part of bringing Art of the Arrangement to life.
