I am deeply indebted to Paul for composing and playing numerous songs for me which embrace beauty, passion, deep emotion and wit; all of which reverberate into vibrations of the soul. We have produced the CD, Love…Light…Peace which includes award-winning song cycles. It is available for purchase at www.paulzeigler.com
Fine Art:
Seth Ruggles Hiler, my gifted nephew, has been providing fine art for my concerts since 1996. His work has expressed and deepened each recital’s message whether it came to life in oil, watercolor, graphite or gouache. I am eternally grateful for his partnership. Please visit his website, www.sethruggleshiler.com, twitter @SethTheArtist and Instagram @SethPaintsUs.
Wendilee Heath O’Brien has painted lovely 4x4 gold and silver leaf works to accompany some of my Haiku and are included in the Gallery portion of this website. Please enjoy her works at www.whopaints.com
In Addition:
Deep gratitude to my daughter, Mariam Whiting Bora, who has done a phenomenal job editing my recital programs as well as helping me to launch my songs on Soundcloud.
To the late Skipp Tullen for his engineering expertise in helping my songs come to life on CDs with their finest quality sounds.
To Dr. Anne Matlack, Grace Community Music and Grace Church for hosting so many of my concerts. Thank you, Anne, for our annual Helen Thomas Memorial Concerts during Lent, for your Harmonium’s Bach St. Matthew Passion and for your continued overwhelming support of bringing music and musicians to the community.
