Perfect time for free stuff!

Considering the state of the worldwide economy, what better time to concentrate on free things! I nearly forgot that BBC’s Radio 3 was going to broadcast the recital that David Zobel and I gave to open the 2008-09 season for the Wigmore Hall just over a month ago. Happily, I have been reminded, and you can listen to it FOR FREE (we love that!) for the coming week. I think it is available through next Monday – but don’t quote me on that – just catch it while you can, should you feel so moved!

Keep in mind, this is a live recital – mistakes abound, etc, but it’s a fun program of varied Vivaldi arias, intimate Chausson, flamboyant Turina, atmospheric Copland and good ol’ Gershwin! I hope you’ll enjoy it…again, should you feel so moved!!

We need you to make us feel an integral PART of a shared existence through the communal, universal, forgiving language of music, of dance, of poetry and Art – so that we never lose sight of the fact that we are all in this together and that we are all deserving of a life that overflows with immense possibility, improbable beauty and relentless truth.
