This is a great article summarizing the project and what we intended to accomplish on our trip. It also included some great pictures, including one from our Kickstarter video! The team agrees that we accomplished everything we wanted to accomplish from this article.

This article was published shortly after the previous one, outlining more of our goals and summarizing the trip in a little more detail. Also includes some wonderful headshots of our dancers!

This article talks more about our trip to Catarman and mentions Erick Brocoy, one of our new friends who helped show us around Leyte (mentioned at the end of this post). Erick also introduced Midori and Brian to "balut", which they actually enjoyed! More on that in a later post... One correction to this post: Juilliard is not actually known as the "Harvard school for the arts." Maybe they meant, the "Harvard" of arts schools?

This link is similar to the last, but it's included for completeness sake.

This is a really great post by another friend of ours, Xavier Lobos, who paints a really great picture of what we set out to accomplish, and why we were doing this project. Thanks, Xavier! (Same correction about the Harvard school of the arts.)

This is another great post from a blog by one of the students we worked with at the University of the Philippines in Los Baños, focusing more on what Brian and Midori taught the musicians. It does a really great job of explaining what we taught, and the whole concept behind the (Pa)Salubong. More on the (Pa)Salubong in a later post!

This is a wonderful article written about Brian Gnojek's musical family, including mention of the benefit recital he did with Midori Samson. The Gnojek family is truly a part of the musical community in Kansas, and thanks to Brian and Midori, they've expanded their influence to the Philippines as well!
I actually told the writer about this. 'Harvard' of the arts school and not Harvard School for the Arts which makes it sound like another department from the University. :-) I hope to see you guys in the next Project here in the Philippines. I hope this finds you well. Mabuhay.
