Christmas Mini-Concert Tour in Europe with Googoosh and Mehrdad:

We just did three concerts in Oberhausen - Germany, Stockholm – Sweden, & London – UK, for beautifully enthusiastic audiences…  It was five years since I performed here with Googoosh…  IT WAS AMAZING!

Inauguration event of the new building of the Tabernáculo Bíblico Bautista in El Salvador:

Early in Dec. we spent a glorious week ministering in San Salvador, Central America, at the opening events for the new expanded 9000+ seating-people temple…  They estimate we reached 87.000 people!

Pedro played every night & Sara --who also sang ‘Aguinaldos’, traditional Venezuelan Christmas Carols-- ministered alongside musicionaries Gustavo Lima, Papo Rivera, among many others, and a host of brilliant pastor preachers. 

We even had the extraordinary privilege of meeting & ministering to the President of El Salvador, Mr. Elías Antonio Saca González …

God blessed us significantly and we cannot describe the especial connection we experience with this extraordinary congregation for the second time this year…

Thanks to Pastor-founder Dr. Edgar Beltran Sr., Dr. Edgar Beltran Jr., as well as precious sister Maria Teresa, Pastor Jorge Aguirre, & pastor Marlon ‘El Tigre’…

Extraordinary people, astonishing vision, these people are an example to the whole world!   WE LOVE YOU ALL!!

A 22+ years re-encounter on the making!

In November ’08 Pedro had the blessing of a meeting of huge significance:
At the concert of the world renown "Orquesta Nacional Juvenil de Venezuela Simón Bolivar" --an orchestra of young players averaging early twenties-- he re-encountered Dr. José Antonio Abreu --the Nobel Price & founder of this historical “Sistema” movement.

With maestros Dr. José Antonio Abreu, Gustavo Dudamel & John Williams at the Walt Disney Hall

"Concerning Venezuela, this is like coming 'full circle', musically speaking: re-connecting with Dr. Abreu, & meeting these young and extraordinarily powerful classical musicians affected me deeply... 
Meeting conductor genius-wiz-kid Gustavo Dudamel was another 'explosion' in my heart...  I almost felt like I was sharing with my own sons & daughters playing in this orchestra... THEY ARE AMAZING! And they made us all so proud... 
I could barely contain myself at the concert.  They 'stole' our hearts...  I guess I will have to re-examine my artistic relationship with my country of origin.  I will have to go back & share in music with these incredible talents..."

Pedro wins the Film & TV Music Award 2007:

Djivan Gasparian's 80th Birthday Concert Celebration

In a bashing event with the participation of a virtually "Who-is-Who" list of singers, musicians & personalities, Pedro had the privilege of performing a solo [on Duduk & Flute] in his his duduk teacher's 80th birthday celebration event, held at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium on Sep. 27th 2007.
"It was an amazingly affirming experience to perform for him, in front of an audience of Armenian connaisseurs --notably, being invited personally by maestro Djivan, few hours before the event!!
This confirms my conviction of completely abandoning myself in the hands of the Creator, in obedience of faith, submitting to HIM the result of years of practice...

I improvised a solo short piece on Duduk, followed by another improvised flute solo piece that 'came' to me that very afternoon, with the grooving accompaniment of the spectacular Armenian house band...

I publicly want to give the credit to God, Who allowed & equipped me to do this successfully. All honor & glory be to Jesus, my inspiration, Lord & Savior!!"

Acoustics Research:
I was Recently blessed by a visit from Dr. Peter Hoekje, Phd, a wind instruments acoustics specialist & prof. at Baldwin-Wallace College, Cleveland, OH.
We had two days of very intensive & productive flute acoustics-related research. Results include a breakthrough in the design of my Persian Ney Headjoint® for the Böehm flute, & Dr. Peter's Excel spread sheet to calculate finger-holes position for my Modal Chromatic Fingering System®. I am so looking forward seeing him again next Nov.12th to Cleveland for more research.

On Sep. 24th-07 I met with Dr. Gary Lewis in San Francisco, a flautist & saxophonist --and historic-flutes specialist-- by suggestion of master flute repairman --& friend-- Paul Rabinov.

Gary spent hours measuring, then calculating/plotting a cylindrical equivalent of the inside bore taper of my aforementioned hand-made Persian Ney Headjoint®.

I cannot thank them both enough for the absolutely fantastic work!!

BlizzCon '07

Blizzard Entertainment's super convention was held at the Anaheim Convention Center, culminating with a symphonic-rock-world concert on Aug 4th 07. Pedro performed duduk on a duet with a friend & former Cal-Arts alumnae, singer & composer, Derek Duke.

The following is an excerpt from Jayson Napolitano's review of the concert: "A suite of World of Warcraft background music followed... The highlight of this piece was Pedro Eustache’s performance on the duduk, an ethnic wind instrument. Eustache gave life to the music on stage, moving with the melody, and creating the most beautiful woodwind sounds I have ever heard live; the duduk sounded almost like it was alive and talking to us. He received a round of applause during his performance, despite the piece not being over!"

Radio de la Fe:

Pedro is the artist of the month in "Radio de la Fe", the internet exclusive Christian Spanish-speaking radio .

This project is the spiritual 'baby' of my nephew, Gustavo Eustache Soteldo [son of my little brother, Gustavo],
diretcly from Galicia, Spain.

I wholeheartedly bless & support him in this most significant endeavor that proclaims The Truth,
in these desperately needy times...

In Israel for the first time [Part II]... The Jack Hayford School Of Pastoral Nurture, Israel 2007

Like I said before... how can I put the indescribable in words?...

Spending a whole week under the leadership of Pastor Jack & Ana Hayford --pastors' pastors-- was ONE OF THE HIGLIGHTS OF OUR LIVES!!

We literally saw the supernatural in front of us everyday, as pastor Jack lead for hours, with an energy that was nothing short of miraculous... under extreme heat, humidity, & grueling schedule --almost military-like conditions-- Pastor Jack taught the group of 90 ministers with full enthusiasm, clarity of mind, purpose of spirit & incredible insight, as we traveled through the four cardinal points of the land of Israel...

As a musicionary, God have blessed me with incredible experiences... I have played in some of the most incredible places imaginable: from India's splendorous Taj Mahal, to the astonishing "Emperor's Palace" in the Forbidden City, Beijing-China, to the 2000 years old Roman amphitheater in Carthage, Tunisia... Yet NOTHING COMPARES TO PLAYING "CHRIST AROSE" in front of the empty tomb of Jesus, & "MASTER THE TEMPEST IS RAGING" in a boat, in the middle of the sea of Galilee!! [see pics below]... We grew-up singing these classical Christian hymns, & to play them in these settings is beyond anything I could ever explain...

All we can say is... go visit the holy Land!! IT WILL BLESS & TRANSFORM YOUR LIVES LIKE IT DID WITH US!!!!

In Israel for the first time [Part I]... The 2007 Foursquare Church International Convention - Jerusalem

Sara --my wife-- & I had the privilege of visiting the Holy Land for the first time this July, for two events: The Foursquare International Convention [gathering 3000 from all over the world] & the SPN with Pastor Jack Hayford.

Below are pics from the first event... How can I describe this? I worshiped under the annointed leadership of both Robert Stearns & Tomy Walker --in the morning & evening services, respectively-- with band members John Peña, Linda McCrary Fisher & Bob Wilson, among others. This was an exercise in the purpose of my life...

Ministering with a solo piece ["Oh, Come Emmanuel"] the night Pastor Jack spoke was such an undeserved blessing...

Pedro is a guest soloist for The Music Festival of Carthage, Tunisia 2007

With his friend, oud soloist maestro Riadh el Fehri & the Sicilian Symphony Orchestra, Pedro participated as a guest soloist for the 2nd consecutive year... Eight different newspapers --in Arabic, French & English-- gave raving reviews to this unforgettable event...

Also, Pedro had Arabic music theory lessons with maestro Riadh, Arabic Nay lessons [trad. oblique flute] --again-- from his virtuoso teacher, maestro Dr. Nabil Abdelmouleh , AND 'Mezoued' [trad. 2ble. chanter bagpipe] with maestro Moustapha Ben Randum...

Here I am recording with fellow musicianary Benny Prasad,
from India, for his latest CD project.

Benny-ji is a man of God with an extraordinary personal testimony...

This was an absolutely extraordinary week!
EASTER 2007 CELEBRATION

Meeting & ministering with Pastor Toby & his pastoral staff was a major blessing...
This outstanding church is the direct result of the vision of an outstanding man of God.

I played everyday in every Easter service, for a daily 'full house'.
In this 7000+ seating temple, people waited since 2:30PM to get 'good seats' for the 6:00PM services!

I was interviewed for TV, several times for the radio,
& ministered with "The Passion Of The Christ" clips & personal testimony on Good-friday

Pedro's Testimony - Good Friday Service [in Spanish].

Pastor Toby treated us like family, & we are so looking forward ministering again in Dec. 7th. for their
"Fiesta De Jesus", in the national stadium. They expecting a crowd of 90.000+... Glory to God!!
