Eric Whitacre Instagram – My dear friend of 33 years, poet Tony Silvestri, is quite ill. He has given SO much to all of us writing poetry for dozens of beloved pieces and composers. (For me he wrote the lyrics to Sleep, Lux Aurumque, Leonardo Dreams, and The Sacred Veil to name just a few). Now is the time for us to give a little back.
If you are able to give anything at all to help him in his very long and difficult recovery, his family —and I — would be incredibly grateful.
Tony, each of us is sending you warmth, love, optimism, and profound gratitude. Get well soon, my brother.
Link to the giving campaign is in my bio. | Posted on 09/Dec/2023 23:05:40
