The University Musical Society will perform Handel's "Messiah"
this Saturday and Sunday , December 7 and 8, at 8 PM on
Sat., and 2 PM on Sun.  Tickets are available at the UMS box office.  
This promises to be a memorable pair of performances.

This might be of limited use to most of you, but I'll give it a mention in
case anybody is from my neck of the woods. At Queen's University in Belfast,
Northern Ireland (where I am currently studying) we hold an annual festival
of contemporary music, called Sonorities. This year, we have recieved extra
funding due to special efforts made over the years, and have been able to go
all out in organising a really special festival. This year, highlights include
visits from the composer Jonathan Harvey, the percussionist Jonny Axelsson,
and the London Sinfonietta. There will be pieces by composers like Xenakis,
Harvey, Nancarrow, Birtwistle, Messiaen and many more. It is an excellent
chance to get acquainted with some of the best contemporary music played by
some of the best players, so if you are within a short plane-journey of
Belfast, it is worthwhile coming along. The festival runs from the 27th April
to the 5th May, and you can get further information by ringing the School of
Music at Queens on +44 1232 238484 or checking out

The last two concerts were fabulous.  Jeffrey plays horn in them.

my presence in this conference (and on grex in general) has become very rare,
but since I'm on now I'd thought I'd give a little plug for the u-m composers'
forum concert happening this monday at 8 pm in the britton recital hall at
the school of music.  admission is free.  the program is entirely works by
u-m student composers.  I will have a set of three songs for soprano and piano
on the program (which are actually 3 out of a projected series of 5).  this
is the first time I've submitted anything to the forum, and is possibly the
last unless I submit something else in april, because I may be dropping out
of the music school.

Gratz Jeffrey!

I'll repost this from the "Grexers on Stage" item in Agora/Music
