It is always amazing to start a conversation around TEDTalks with a group of TED fans. The conversation goes in unexpected directions when we share diverse opinions. The January TEDxTampaBaySalon was no exception. Thanks to everyone who shared viewpoints on our chosen TEDTalks for the evening, Simon Sinek-How Great Leaders Inspire Action and Alberto Cairo- There are no Scraps of Men.

Tre Amici was standing room only as people from around Tampa Bay and beyond packed into the hip coffee shop in Ybor City to witness Jon Dengler tell his amazing story of sharing and generosity in an age of excess and materialism. Jon’s passionate talk reminded us that it is people, and not “stuff”, that has real value. Through intentional living, Jon and his community live together without air conditioning and other comforts to reduce their carbon footprint. Best of all, Jon’s stories started halfway across the world, transplanted themselves here and now they are sprouting here in Tampa. Thanks, Jon.
Thanks to the Advanced Medical Practices Interest Group and Tampa Florida Attractions for helping us spread the word. Thank you, Drew Coffman of Birch Standard for your videography services and expertise. Thanks to the hard-working crew at Tre Amici for making us comfortable, serving awesome food and drinks, and making it look easy with a crowd of 60 people crammed into every spot in the place! Thanks to everyone who came out on Monday evening to share, engage, and meet new faces.

Eric Whitacre presented at TED in 2010 to talk about the challenges of conducting a virtual chorus of individuals from around the world. The piece, channeling the power of the human voice, is hauntingly beautiful. In fact, fans who watch the video are often moved to tears. As it turns out, there is a Tampa connection to the very piece highlighted in Eric’s TED Talk. In 2000, The Master Chorale of Tampa Bay commissioned Eric to write the piece Lux Aurumque. In fact, fans can purchase the CD containing the Master Chorale’s performance of the song on the Master Chorale website.
Founded in 1979, the Master Chorale of Tampa Bay is committed to advancing the art of choral music by performing great works of the past, commissioning and performing new literature and sharing the joy and power of choral music with new and existing audiences and singers.
