Being a 21st century parent poses different parenting challenges from days gone by. There are many challenges faced by parents and caregivers. It can be lonely and isolating, overwhelming, difficult to know what is “right”, tiring, difficult to deal with peer pressure, high expectations, social media, trusting your own instincts, lacking a support circle, and finding balance between work and family. We provide extensive training and support to all parents and caregivers in WA State through state and regional conferences and online trainings. FPAWS is families helping families.

Claudio Constantini: Concerto for Bandoneon & Orchestra
Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue
Price: Ethiopia’s Shadow in America
Gershwin: American in Paris

GLOBAL MELANGE: Multi-instrumentalist and composer Claudio Constantini will share his unique style that fuses classical, contemporary and Latin music genres in his performance of two pieces—his own tango-inspired Concerto for Bandoneon and Gershwin’s gem of symphonic jazz, Rhapsody in Blue. Written in 1932, Florence Price’s Ethiopia’s Shadow in America expresses the poignant experience of enslaved Africans in the United States. Gershwin’s rollicking An American in Paris portrays “the impressions of an American visitor in Paris as he strolls about the city, listens to the various street noises and absorbs the French atmosphere.”
