Here's an early warning announcement for my next recital:
Friday, May 21, at 8 PM, in the Northside Community Church,
I'll be giving a solo voice recital. My accompanist will be
Kevin Bylsma. There will be songs by Schubert, Puccini,
Debussy, Irving Fine, and Lee Hoiby. I will be wearing a
gorgeous gown. There will be a reception afterward. Fun
will be had by all.

Have fun. I've noticed that these recital things are always less
nerve-racking if I'm enjoying myself.

Lee Hoiby (i not l) is an American composer who is still
living. I'm performing his setting of "Jabberwocky," which
was composed in about 1989.
I'll make another recital announcement with directions to the
church in a couple of days.

Music building at UM North Campus.

The Ann Arbor national youth poetry slam team (and a few other people) are
performing on Wednesday at 7 o'clock at the Neutral Zone (on Main Street,
where the Ark used to be). Normally the Netral Zone is a 'teen center', but
all ages are welcome to this show.

Just a reminder that Leslie Smith's recital ( resp:33 ) is today, Friday.
I have a crude ascii map of the recital location, Northside Community
Church, 929 Barton Drive, near the intersection of Plymouth Rd. and
Barton Drive; e-mail krj if you need a copy.

i didn't know ahead of time, so i couldn't post it before, but sunday i was
onstage at joe louis arena in front of about 12,000 people at a hip-hop/r&b
concert by chicago artist r.kelly, with opening acts foxy brown, nas, deborah
cox and others...
i was moving stuff around between acts, and placing a big pillow on a huge
bed onstage for the final number.

Is that R&B as in "Rhythm and Blues" or R&B as in "rap and bullshit"?

Leslie (arabella) Smith's recital was wonderful. What a beautiful voice
she has.
The audience was rife with Grexers. I spotted mary, steve, glenda,
jiffer, krj, tsty, keesan, jdeigert, anderyn, carla. (Apologies to
anybody I missed.)

I thought Leslie sounded wonderful, too. I was also really impressed with
her ability to remember all the words of all those songs in German, Italian,
and French, and she even sounded like a native speaker.

I was *very* impressed with Leslie's recital. I have seen her on two
previous occasions and this one blew both of them away in sheer vocal
power and artistry. It was *totally* mind-blowingly awesome.
