I am thrilled to be joining Cirque du Soleil’s show Varekai as bandleader and keyboardist on their world tour. The show has been on a world tour since 2002 and I will be joining them on the final legs in Europe and ending in the United States in 2017.
The musicians and singers are exceptional and I am truly honored to work with them. The music by Violaine Corradi is stunning. The Varekai score is some of the most beautiful contemporary music that I have ever heard. It has so much depth and nuance to the score. I first saw the show back around 2005 and again in Manila around 2010. I’ve always loved this show.
As I joined as new music director for the show, Varekai was soon celebrating show number 5,000 on their tour. In the first half of 2017, Varekai ranked #32 worldwide in ticket sales for international tours.
