I would like to take this sacred opportunity and wish every single member of our Iranian family a very happy new year. Indeed spring brings to us the signs of hope and empowerment. Welcome to this era of freshness and beauty. I would also like to wish each and every one of the Artists that have joined our family a very prosperous year. Please understand, that the business we are in like life by its very nature is challenging. It is for this reason that we strive for balance in every aspect of our daily activities. In order to have balance one needs to expose the imbalance within one’s mind and move toward balance. Sometimes it’s not easy to see and deal with our imbalances within our brain so things get challenging. As humans we tend to have the greatest opportunities for growth in the challenges we encounter. So please experience the challenges we share together positively for no matter how cold winter may be, it is always followed by the beauty of spring.

At Concerto we strongly believe that there is no contest between you or anyone you may be sharing the stage with. It isn’t even a contest between you and yourself. Forget about how strong and successful you used to be way back when. Give up any aspirations of how strong and successful you hope to be one day. Just be where you are!

By being where you are as fully as possible. You’ll benefit most by your effort regardless of how far or deep you get in your career. As long as you are feeling it and you are breathing calmly, and are present, you’re already successful. Every act you perform there has to be sweetness and a sense of freedom to every note you share with your audience. Nothing should ever be excruciating. Occasionally or maybe more so you may notice yourself getting frustrated, judgmental, critical and reactive. Please use this safe environment we have created at Concerto to start working on these old habit patterns.

We are all quite attached to different aspect of who we are so it is very natural for a lot of things to arise. Please know that calmness and self acceptance are at the very root of Concerto Production sets of values and philosophy. Without this life becomes very superficial. Without this we are building our whole house on a shaky foundation.

The message of spring is very clear. Whenever you catch yourself judging or punishing too hard, realize you may not be accepting where you’re at, and let it go! Whenever you catch yourself being self judgmental or critical realize you are really lacking nothing and it’s actually the judgments and criticism that’s keeping you down.
Let it go! Whenever you catch yourself being reactive, let it go! Get calm, even if it means backing off…
