I will be singing a big solo this Saturday in a cantata by Aaron Copland 
called "In the Beginning."  It's all acappella, and quite challenging.  
The concert is being presented by the Vocal Arts Ensemble at Temple Beth 
Emeth/St. Clare's Episcopal Church, 2309 Packard Rd. in Ann Arbor.  
Admission is $10, $5 for students and seniors, children free.  The 
concert begins at 8 PM and highlights the richness of ancient scripture.
Selections include a variety of psalm settings by Josquin and 
Palestrina, as well as a renaissance setting in Hebrew, and a 3-psalm 
piece by contemporary Israeli composer Tsvi Avni.

In case you want another chance to hear this wonderful cantata, it will 
be repeated in a joint concert with the Zamir Chorale of Metropolitan 
Detroit on Sunday, May 22, 7 PM, at the Jewish Community Center, 6600 W. 
Maple Rd., West Bloomfield.  Most of our May 14 repertoire will be 
repeated, and there will be several selections by Zamir alone.  Both 
choirs will sing "In the Beginning."  Admission prices are the same as 
May 14.

        I like Aaron Copeland's music

#4 of 38 by mcnally on Fri May 13 06:58:42 2005:

 I could do without the now-permanent association with "It's what's
 for dinner," but Copland can hardly be held responsible for that..

damn! afternoon i could make it ... night, not. sorry.

I'm performing in the Kickoff Concert of the Scott Joplin Festival in
Sedalia, Missouri, on Thursday, June 2 at 11:00 a.m., at the Farewell
Brunch on Sunday, June 5, and at other miscellaneous venues during the
festival.  Program details are at http://scottjoplin.org/festival.htm,
and my musical "bio" for the festival is posted at
http://scottjoplin.org/performers.htm .  So if you're in vicinity of
central Missouri on those dates, drop in and have a listen.  Lots of
events, many of them free, and many fine performers.

        Hey I heard Katie, Deb, and Deb sing a number 
        of times and I've been missing them.
        
        This is the first I've heard them called All About Eve.

Well, this is cool...I went to the Ark last night to hear Anne Hills
and Tom Paxton, and after Dave Siglin scolded me for paying for a
ticket, he asked me to be the opening act for one of the 40th Anniversary
Fling concerts this July. So I'll either open for Dar Williams and
Cheryl Wheeler, or Greg Brown, or John McCutcheon.

#11 of 38 by jor on Sun May 15 20:47:16 2005:

        Dave went to the same high school as I.
        But he graduated 11 years earlier.
        He was classmates with Michael Moriarty and
        slynne's dad.

unlucky world :(

#14 of 38 by jor on Mon May 16 03:58:10 2005:

        oops. Mr. Siglin was released back into society
        in 1960. So "classmates" was misleading.

        Don't fret Lynnette

#15 of 38 by jep on Mon May 16 22:08:47 2005:

re resp:7: I am bummed about the timing of the Katie Geddes and the 
Usual Suspects concert, as I haven't heard you for a couple of years 
now.  I will be attending my niece's graduation that evening, in 
Tennessee.

Have you come out with any new albums, Katie?  Your WWW page is 2 years 
out of date.

Is Kevin Spacey a tenor or an alto?

#17 of 38 by albaugh on Tue May 17 16:46:25 2005:

I don't believe I care for the tenor of that question!  ;-)

#18 of 38 by tod on Tue May 17 17:16:00 2005:

You alto get a sense of humor.

#19 of 38 by bru on Tue May 17 19:20:40 2005:

Just so you don't get hold of Tony from the Sapranos to make things happen.

#20 of 38 by tod on Tue May 17 19:34:42 2005:

Is a Saprano anything like Amethyst?

#21 of 38 by marcvh on Tue May 17 19:42:34 2005:

"The Sapranos" is a Christian-themed show about Italians in New Jersey who
are not mobsters; they're sickly-sweet and maple flavored.

#22 of 38 by tod on Tue May 17 19:52:27 2005:

You mean like the E Street band?

#23 of 38 by marcvh on Tue May 17 19:59:13 2005:

With a dash of Martha Stewart.

#24 of 38 by tod on Tue May 17 20:03:02 2005:

Or every male that ever agrees to be a guest with his spouse on Dr.Phil

#25 of 38 by bru on Tue May 17 20:27:17 2005:

that is a bass accusation.

#26 of 38 by albaugh on Wed May 18 17:37:19 2005:

No, SAT would be a bassless accusation...

I will be the opening act at the Ark on Fri, July 15, opening for
Michael Cooney, Tom Paxton and John McCutcheon.

#33 of 38 by other on Fri Jun 10 02:10:55 2005:

Ooh, Ooh!  Can I go?!  (The only Michael Cooney I know of works for CAMI
-- Columbia Artists Management -- in NYC, but I love the work of Paxton
and McCutcheon as well as Katie!)

#34 of 38 by katie on Fri Jun 10 02:49:43 2005:

I hope you'll go! If I'm allowed guest-list prvileges, I'll let you
know.

(I also get to back up Matt Watroba two days earlier, when he opens
for Maura O'Connell, Nanci Griffith, and John Gorka.)

#35 of 38 by jor on Fri Jun 10 07:22:59 2005:

        jeepers, I was quoting Tom Paxton right
        here in spring agora.cf, item 92.

        So I've shared a stage with someone who
        will share a stage with Tom Paxton.

        Can I ask myself for my own autograph?
        I'll stand in line patiently.
