Grexers on Stage -- Spring 2001
| 
Mar 24 03:17 UTC 2001 |
This is the traditional item for Grexers to announce upcoming artistic
performances. If you're shy, you can announce the performance after
it has happened.
Linked between Agora and Music conferences.

Repeating from the last Agora, Leslie Smith (arabella) writes:
I will be participating in Arbor Opera Theater's concert "A
Grand Night for Singing" on Saturday night, March 24 at
8 PM. I will be contributing two Gershwin songs to the
mostly pop program (musicals, operettas, etc.). The site
is Westminster Presbyterian Church, 1500 Scio Church Rd, and
admission is free, though donations will be requested.

I might be on the stage some, but mostly helping to
(virtually and figurativly) build the stage for the funny
music convention Dementia 2001, held at the Southfield
Holiday Inn this weekend.

on a page deeper than that.

Gee, I should have mentioned that booking agents for local
venues will get a free pass. Just have someone at registration
get a hold of me to confirm the offer. Katie, I have not seen
Carla Ulbrich yet, but word of reaction to her concerts have been
worthy of a good look. She is comeing up from Georgia (at the last
minute) be part of the Saturday, 6pm concerts and to network.

Yep, I helped to build the stage (heavy sections) and get it
set up.
I hosted the Saturday night concerts that included Robin Nakkula,
Carla Ulbrich, Grant from Throwing Toasters, Rob Paravonian and Tom
Smith. I picked up CDs from the ones I did not have already.

I'd like to announce that I'll be performing my Master's Degree Recital
next Wednesday evening, April 11, up at Michigan State UNiversity, in
Hart Recital Hall, at 8 PM. The program will include works by Ravel,
Massenet, Monteverdi, Benedetto Marcello, Haydn, Wagner, Tchaikovsky,
and Henry Cowell. My accompanist is Kevin Bylsma, who is fabulous.
For those of you who are interested in attending my recital, but not
in traveling to East Lansing, I am planning to repeat the program in
May in Ann Arbor. I will announce that date as soon as it is locked
in. But if you *are* willing to travel, I would love having the support
of any grexers who might show up at MSU next Wednesday evening.

One of things that came out of the funny music convention,
Dementia 2001, was a shot for the album cover of the great Luke Ski's
(http://www.lukeski.com) next CD, "Uber Geek". I will be in a
prominent part of the picture, at the Uber Geek King's feet as a
Ren Faire geek (puffy burgandy shirt, purple hat). Others
surrounding the Uber Geek king include a Klingon (Bill Putt), a
scotsman (clad in Kilt), pokemon geeks, nerdy geeks, a Laurna Croft,
wenches, and Tony Goldmark as The Comic Book guy from The Simpson's.
the great Luke Ski is quite the "Fanboy" as that will
probably be the lead track of the new CD out in the fall.

Sorry if I already said this (I lose track of which item is which),
but this Fri, Apr 14, Livingston Taylor is playing at the Ark, and
I will likely duet with him on "Loving Arms."

Here's a retroactive on-stage: If you log on to the Alice 106.7
website, which is part of Carey Carlson's 'thethirdcoast.com', and
click on "Alice's Restaurant," there's a photo of me, Mike Fedel,
Jeremy Kittle, and Carey Carlson from a live appearance we did for her
a few months ago. They rotate the photos often, so I don't know how
long it'll be there.

On Sunday, April 22, at 7pm, at 2309 Packard in Ann Arbor, there will
be an amazing free concert of Yiddish music -- including Yiddish folk
songs, Yiddish songs done in English, English songs done in Yiddish,
etc. Janice (Mrs. polygon) will be among the performers.

I'll be singing in two concerts this weekend. First: A Renaissance
Dinner with Music at the Vitosha Bed and Breakfast on Saturday
April 21, 7 to 9 PM. This is the former Unitarian Church, at 1917
Washtenaw Avenue. Tickets for the dinner are about $65 per couple,
but for just $10 you can come sit in the balcony to hear the music.
Member of the Arbor Opera Theater will be performing madrigals
and solo songs by such composers as Thomas Morley, John Dowland,
Thomas Campion, Orlando di Lasso, and Henry Purcell. The musicians
will all be in costume.
Second: A benefit concert for Arbor Opera Theater, called A Grand
Night for Singing II, at 4 PM on Sunday, April 22, at the West Side
Methodist Church, at 900 south 7th Street. This will be another
pops/broadway concert, similar to the AOT benefit in March. I
will be singing a Jerome Kern song, and Amor, by William Bolcom.
Admission is free, although donations are gratefully accepted.

Here's a bright idea: Go to my concert at the West Side Methodist
Church at 4 PM on Sunday, grab a quick supper somewhere, and then
to to Janice's concert on Packard at 7 PM. It's a double feature!
One other note: I will be making my Ann Arbor debut as a pianist
during the Saturday concert at Vitosha, since our tenor is also
our regular accompanist, and I will be playing two of his songs
for him so he can get out from behind the piano and just sing.
I will also play two songs for him on Sunday. Gee, I guess I
am a renaissance woman now...

Grand Rapids Symphonette; May 4; St. Cecilia's Royce Auditorium at 7:30pm.
Free. Reception upstairs afterward with free cookies, punch and coffee coffee
coffee. The concert theme is music made in America and has a preponderance
of patriotic pieces. I'll be up front for the quintessential trombone work,
Lassus Trombone.
Note: This is not the GR SYMPHONY. The GR Symphonette is a much more modest
organization of volunteers.

The U of M Life Sciences Orchestra will be performing at Hill, this
Wednesday evening, 8:00. And admission is free. Come and hear my
newest favorite symphony, Shostakovitch's Fifth. There will also
be a little Rossini and a Mozart Piano Concerto on the program.
