The story of

'Love is the Bridge to Peace'

On Wednesday, June 18 talented Montana musical artist, Rob Quist generously donated his time as a guest educator for the 2008 Empowerment through Performance Workshop.  Rob worked with the young participants crafting this beautiful song that reflects on nature, peace, love and friendship.

In December, 2008, SYVF brought together professional musical artists from around the country to honor this important musical creation by recording it.  The CD features performances by various guest 'celebrity' artists including Rob Quist, Mike Eldred, Jack Gladstone, Allan & Valeri McGarvey, Denise Sterhan & Jennifer Julian.  Musicians included Rob Quist, Dave Griffith, bassist Gary Snow and Cellist Austin Berscheid.

Three of the vocal soloists were talented ETP graduates Katie McGunagle, Tori Quirk & Hannah Martinez. The chorus included 2008 ETP camp attendees plus talented vocalists Greg Naive, Stephanie White, Wilson Higgs, Bente Grinde, Jesse Brenneman and Ken Grinde.

The vocal and instrumental tracks were recorded at the end of December 2008 at Snoring Hound Studios in Kalispell, MT. 

This wonderful venue was generously donated by owner Dave Griffith, who engineered for super-producer David DeVore.  Musical Artist Gilli Moon and Film Composer Rebecca Lloyd also contributed to development.

The track was mixed by Emmy Award-winning re-recording mixer Rick Alexander.

 To buy the CD or download as an mp3 order from our own Web Store page on this website.
