#PlayWithEric
To create more awareness for this mental health crisis, dozens of saxophonists from around the world will play with Eric on December 14th through the power of technology. This groundbreaking performance includes friends, mentors, colleagues, and prominent soloists that he admired in an innovative composition by an award-winning composer, David Biedenbender.
We welcome future collaborators to join us and become a part of this ongoing video project to #PlayWithEric . Someday, Eric may perform with a choir of a thousand strong to continue providing inspiration and hope.
