    Introducing "MA PETITE FLEUR STRING QUARTET" Pt. 1. Robert's Jazz Ballad Transformed Into A Lush Classical String Quartet Piece. Praised By A Host Of Classical Music Stars!
    2025/12/01
    Welcome to Part 1 of a two-part Special Episode introducing my new release, “MA PETITE FLEUR STRING QUARTET”. This work transforms my jazz ballad into a lush classical string quartet piece. I’m pleased to say that the work has been praised by all of the Classical Music Stars listed below. In Part 1 today we’re going to listen to this new work. In Part 2 tomorrow we're going to introduce the incredible musicians who brought this piece to life.But first, here’s the back story.Last year, following my podcast interview with Michael Abene, Grammy award winning big band arranger, I asked him if he would create a new arrangement of my jazz ballad, “The Gift”. Michael agreed and transformed my song into an extraordinary big band Samba. My band mates and I were the rhythm section on the recording. Spotify link.I then got the idea to take another of my jazz ballads and have it arranged into a classical string quartet piece. I was introduced to David Shenton, a genius arranger, who took my song, “Ma Petite Fleur” - my little flower - and arranged it as a classical string quartet piece inspired by my song. He then brought in four world class musicians to record the work.With this as the back story, please listen now to “MA PETITE FLEUR STRING QUARTET”.CLICK HERE FOR THE OFFICIAL VIDEOCLICK HERE FOR ALL LINKS--------------------------------------------------------Praised by:Steven Beck - Concert PianistJeffrey Biegel - Concert PianistMarina Chiche - Classical ViolinistJoAnn Falletta - Conductor, Buffalo PhilharmonicYolanda Kondonassis - Concert HarpistShawn Okpebholo - ComposerAmit Peled - Concert CellistLucas Richman - Conductor, Bangor SymphonyLlewellyn Sanchez-Werner - Concert PianistJason Vieaux - Classical Guitarist—-----------------------------------------------------------The Follow Your Dream Podcast:Top 1% of all podcasts with Listeners in 200 countries!Click here for All Episodes Click here for Guest List Click here for Guest Groupings Click here for Guest TestimonialsClick here to Subscribe Click here to receive our Email UpdatesClick here to Rate and Review the podcastClick here for Robert’s “Dream Inspire” App—----------------------------------------ROBERT’S NEW “DREAM INSPIRE” APPYour personalized Coach to Motivate, Pursue and Succeed at Your DreamCLICK HERE—----------------------------------------ROBERT’S LATEST SINGLE:“MI CACHIMBER” is Robert’s latest single.

  • Introducing "DREAM INSPIRE", Robert's New App. Your Personalized Coach To Motivate, Pursue And Succeed At Your Dream!

    Introducing "DREAM INSPIRE", Robert's New App. Your Personalized Coach To Motivate, Pursue And Succeed At Your Dream!
    2025/11/22

    This episode introduces “DREAM INSPIRE”, my new App. It’s your personalized coach to Motivate, Pursue and Succeed at Your Dream.

    I created this podcast in order to motivate and inspire people to follow their dream, just like I followed my youthful music dream later in life. Everybody has - or had - a dream. But very few of us ever pursue our dream. I didn’t want to be someone who looked back at any point in my life and regretted that I never even gave my dream a chance.

    But it was only after I turned 60 when I finally gave my dream a real shot. And boy am I glad that I did. Since then I’ve released 15 acclaimed albums (including a Billboard #1) plus numerous singles, written an Amazon Bestseller, and started this podcast which is ranked in the Top 1% and currently has more than 4 million downloads to date.

    Many people have asked me “how did you do all this”? And “how can I do the same”?

    Well the answer is my DREAM INSPIRE App. The App was created using AI by Studio.com, one of the world’s largest online education platforms. Studio has created Apps for dozens of creators, including celebrities like David Blaine, Idina Menzel and Charlie Puth.

    The DREAM INSPIRE App will show you exactly how to pursue your dream, providing STEP-BY-STEP instructions and motivation on a TOTALLY PERSONALIZED BASIS. The App will give you all the tools necessary to follow and succeed at your dream. It’s like having the world’s best coach in your pocket.

    The App will guide you daily, step-by-step, on a personalized basis, to help you achieve your dream - whatever it may be.

    Give it a try. Just go to studio.com/robert.
