James Rhodes is an extraordinarily talented pianist. If this wasn't enough, he's also outspoken about sexual assault prevention. Being a survivor himself, he has worked tirelessly to change the misconception that is 'once a victim, always a victim'. James speaks candidly about his past not for sympathy, but to make humanity aware that those who have survived rape are not always lost and broken. There is life after and by using music as a catalyst, he manages to convey this message - in my opinion - quite beautifully.
In the meantime, watch his moving performance of one my favorite pieces from one of my favorite composers. Enjoy.

Although it's been awhile since the last update, rest assured that Edipus will be in full-swing in the next couple of weeks. I'm talking about Facebook, Twitter, a swanky new website, blogs, and most importantly: a bake sale. Yeah, I said it.
