well, who is to give the master class(s)? who will play the recital? Somene with skill and a recognizable name; perhaos none were available on those dates; perhaps the organizers took a theme that didnt encourage such activitys. Venue has to be rented and payed for, the artist expect something in the envelope, and if travel is involved that fattens the envelope and perhaps adds an expectation of accomodation; if only on some friendly livingroom floor. These are questions to put to the organizer(s), perhaps thru (for Greenwich) the LS, or from someone who has volunteered and is on the 'inside'. -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
