San Antonio, TX, October 25, 2022 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Mexican American composer, Nathan Felix, is set to premiere a new 60 minute, 3-act, opera inspired by the life of Major Fernando Luis Ribas-Dominicci, a pilot in the United States Air Force who was killed in action during Operation El Dorado Canyon in 1986. The opera, Ribas-Dominicci, was written to premiere live at the Carlos Alvarez theater (312 W Commerce) at Texas Public Radio in San Antonio on November 4th 2022 as part of KPAC’s 40 year anniversary. Ribas-Dominicci features tenor Pedro Carreras as Ribas-Dominicci and soprano Lucianna Astorga as Blanca Ribas.
Originally a shorter 20 minute version of Ribas-Dominicci, premiered virtually as part of Texas Public Radio’s Daystream series on April 30th 2021. After the performance, Blanca worked with composer Nathan Felix in developing the libretto into a feature length opera by recounting stories of Fernando’s early years growing up in Puerto Rico, how the two fell in love, details leading up to Operation El Dorado Canyon and the aftermath of losing her husband. Ribas-Dominicci was born in the town of Utado in Puerto Rico and since his passing, the airport in San Juan named Fernando Ribas Dominicci Airport and the City of Utuado honored its fallen hero by naming a main avenue as Fernando Ribas-Dominicci Avenue.
As KPAC celebrates its 40th anniversary this fall, they are both looking back at the station’s history, as well as looking forward to the future of classical music in South Texas. In addition to the lead cast of Carreras and Astorga, the ensemble is led by conductor Jonathan Martinez and features Jose Irizarry (violin), Ptotia Furlow (viola), Stephen Young (cello), Jean Park (piano) and choral singers Steph Huskin, Kelly Vix-Miller, Christiana Davis, Laura Grindle and Thomas Soto.

Bohemia, NY, September 17, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Music, Science, and Storytelling Unite to Reboot Human Connection
New Anthem “15th to 50th” Reminds Us We’re All Cousins—And Why That Perspective Could Change Everything
What if the person standing next to you wasn’t a stranger, but family? Educator and media innovator Dr. Bernie Furshpan believes it’s not just poetic, it’s a scientific fact. His new movement, 15th to 50th, launches with a powerful music video anthem reminding us that nearly everyone alive today is related within just 15 to 50 generations.
The timing couldn’t be more urgent. “The world has gone mad,” says Dr. Furshpan. “We are more divided than ever, and it’s time to swing the pendulum the other way. When people understand that the air we breathe contains molecules from millions of years ago, and that the atoms in our DNA are as old as the universe itself, it changes how we see each other. We stop looking for enemies and start seeing cousins.”
The anthem, released free to the public, blends the science of genetics with the storytelling power of music. It pulls audiences down a rabbit hole—one where the further you go, the clearer it becomes that the divisions we cling to are illusions. At our core, humanity is a massive extended family.
Dr. Furshpan, already known for his groundbreaking Holocaust education work and the acclaimed documentary The Weight of Memory: I Am Bernie Furshpan, says the project is meant to recalibrate our worldview. “This song is more than a melody. It’s a rallying cry for empathy, for tolerance, for kinship. We’ve tried hatred, separation, and fear. It hasn’t worked. Let’s remind ourselves who we truly are – family.”
The project will expand into schools, corporate workshops, and live events. Merchandise, educational kits, and speaking engagements will sustain the initiative, but the video and message remain free for the world.
