The Wonders of Filoli
Sydney Leung
The Wonders of Filoli is my debut album, available now, as Filoli co-hosts the American Public Garden Association Annual Conference along with Gardens of Golden Gate Park . This project started as a way for me to grieve my Dad's passing and to "transform my grief to wisdom and compassion," a lesson from my dear Tibetan Buddhist Lama friend, Karma Chötso .
I fulfilled my lifelong dream to release a full-length album — recorded at the Filoli ballroom — with an incredible team of artists and magicians who transformed my vision into reality. This album will support the vital programs at Filoli , including the Youth Programs . One of the partner schools is the Chinatown Community Children's Center , an organization Mark and I have supported for over two decades.
My gratitude to all those who have supported me throughout this project.
Please donate directly to Filoli and mention this album.
