“With Eyes to See”
Poetry by Jim Young and Music by Olga Emmanuel
“With Eyes to See” is a song cycle which was composed on the inspired poetry of Jim Young. The songs deal with the relationship man has with himself and God, and cover subjects such as the true essence of life, fear, forgiveness, the need to turn within for guidance, trust in God, love, and so forth.
Vocalists Yannis Filias and Adia Olympia are two rising stars with first-rate credentials and a wide activity in the fields of theatre, opera and the musical. The musicians who accompany them are well-known in their own fields and include: Dionyssis Mallouhos (piano), Dimitris Photopoulos (flute), Kostis Theos (cello) and Ileana Cruceru (harp).
Dr. James H. Young has served the field of learning as a distinguished teacher and professor of higher education. He has also held a variety of leadership positions, including President of State University of New York at Potsdam and Chancellor of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. He is an award winning photographer and writer. The author of twelve spiritual books, Jim travels extensively giving lectures and workshops. He is an inspirational teacher who takes participants to the threshold of their own Truth. He applies the reframing of spiritual perspective in all aspects of his life’s calling.
The CD was presented on Friday, May 8, 2011 in the house of Ms. Marianna Karakosta, at a special evening devoted to Jim Young.
