Update #5: It's here: SYMPHONY FOR THE DANCE FLOOR album
THANK YOU to all the backers who made this project possible.
SYMPHONY FOR THE DANCE FLOOR - the CD and digital download is here!
If you choose a reward, you should have received a digital download code from us by now. Please message us if you haven't. Soon, we'll be shipping CDs to those backers who pledged to receive hard copies of the album.
Thank you for your support. We couldn't have done it without you!
Update #4: SDF in Miami! New Photos! Opening night tonight!
Hello Backers and Supporters,
Team SDF is currently in Miami at Miami Light Project's beautiful, new, downtown space: The Lightbox at Goldman Warehouse. We had our first dress rehearsal last night, and director D.J. Mendel took some beautiful shots (see below).
As we prepare to open SYMPHONY FOR THE DANCE FLOOR in Miami tonight, we're getting so close to our $7,500 Kickstarter goal! We have 4 days to raise a little over $1,300. Remember, if we don't raise at least $7,500, we won't get any money for SDF. It's all or nothing - We're coming down to the wire, but I know we can do it.
THANK YOU so much for the help you've already given. Please help us get across the finish line. Facebook / Tweet / Text / Message / Email your friends. Let them know about this amazing project. Pre-order the CD for $10-25. Get the CDs and T-shirt for $100. Tickets for the shows are on sale, but almost SOLD OUT!! You can get them here on Kickstarter but pledging $300 or more. Every $1 helps.
We cannot do it without you!
Update #3: SDF T-Shirt Design Revealed!
Check out the brand new T-Shirt design for SYMPHONY FOR THE DANCE FLOOR! Designed by Roger Hom, it features stylized images of DBR and Lord Jamar, who will be the featured MC/DJ for the show. Lord Jamar, everyone, is the founding member of the hip-hop group Brand Nubian, and was most recently an actor in HBO's Oz.
Get your limited edition T by pledging $100 to this project, and as always, THANK YOU for being a backer!

About DBR:
Having carved a reputation for himself as an innovative composer, performer, violinist, and band leader, Haitian-American artist Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR) melds his classical music roots with his own cultural references and vibrant musical imagination. Proving that he’s "about as omnivorous as a contemporary artist gets" (New York Times), DBR is perhaps the only composer who has collaborated and performed with Philip Glass, Cassandra Wilson, Bill T. Jones, and Lady Gaga. He's received commissions from Carnegie Hall, the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), the Library of Congress, and the sports channel ESPN. He's appeared on American Idol (FOX), America’s Assignment (CBS Evening News), E:60 (ESPN) and been voted one of the "Top 100 New Yorkers" (New York Resident), "Top 40 Under 40 business people" (Crain’s New York Business), "Top 5 Tomorrow’s Newsmakers" (1010 WINS Radio), and spotlighted as a "New Face of Classical Music" (Esquire Magazine). Most recently DBR has composed music for the Atlanta Ballet, Home in 7, with the choreographer Amy Seiwert and the poet Marc Bamuthi Joseph. More at http://www.dbrmusic.com
