A Benefit Concert for Claudia Tulip
The William Eaton Ensemble presents WEE Rock As One: A Benefit Concert for Claudia Tulip. This concert features their signature world chamber fusion sound, created by silver flutes, world percussion, and one-of-a-kind exotic instruments, such as the Violira and Electric Harp Guitar.
The Ensemble celebrates three decades of playing, creating, and recording together and is composed of William Eaton (harp guitar), Claudia Tulip (silver and bamboo flutes), Allen Ames (violin, Violira and mandolin), and Will Clipman (panglobal percussion.) Each an accomplished artist in their own right, including 11 GRAMMY nominations, they collaborate to create music both ethereal and earthy. Part myth, music, song, and storytelling, their performances and compositions combine traditional form with improvisation, drawing on influences from musical styles around the world. Joining the ensemble for several songs during the concert is Sedona music icon Fitzhugh Jenkins who has played with Claudia Tulip and with William Eaton, respectively, for over 30 years.
“Claudia has been such an important part of our lives, musically and personally, that we wanted to come together to show our love and provide support for her ongoing health challenges,” William Eaton commented.
All proceeds of this Benefit Concert will go to Claudia Tulip to cover her much-needed medical care. Within the past year, Claudia has been diagnosed with a rare, aggressive lymphoma which requires extensive treatments. This includes traditional oncology with integrative naturopathic oncology to support her body's natural ability to heal. Your support will enable a fuller integration of both modalities.
Both concert-goers and those who are not able to attend the event can donate directly to the GoFundMe to support Claudia Tulip at GoFundMe.com.
