We both love to listen to short pieces and songs that give you a taste of so many different colors and emotions, but leave enough undetermined to let you draw your own conclusions. Each of these pieces mean something personal to us, whether it\u2019s about our relationship, nostalgia, personal tribulations, or just simple beauty. This concert is dedicated to my beautiful nephew Yossarian, who was diagnosed with ALD earlier this year, and to his amazing parents\u2014 my brother and sister-in-law\u2014 Edison and Sophia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is an X-linked disease that is caused by an underlying genetic mutation which affects the body\u2019s ability to break down very long\u2013chain fatty acids (VLCFAs). The saturated VLCFAs build up in the brain, nervous system, and adrenal gland and eventually destroy the myelin sheath that surrounds the nerves. ALD affects approximately 1 in 17,000 people worldwide.
