(I've blind-copied the addressees for everyone's privacy.) Mr. Andres Roca is accepting applications for a lutenist and a countertenor or soprano to perform regularly at the Italian Pavilion at Epcot in Disney World in Orlando, Florida for $1200 per week. In our phone conversation Mr. Roca indicated interest in a versatile instrumentalist who can also play guitar, and also a singer who is either a countertenor or soprano. See information below my signature. Interested parties should contact Mr. Roca directly (note his contact information, below). Thank you, Jocelyn Nelson -- Jocelyn Nelson, DMA Teaching Assistant Professor Early Guitar, Music History 336 Fletcher Music Center School of Music East Carolina University 252.328.1255 office 252.328.6258 fax [1]nels...@ecu.edu Casting for: Lutenist and or Female Vocalist to perform music of the Italian Renaissance in Venice. Musicians will be accompanied by a Period Jester performing the Commedia Dell' Arte: The Italian comedy. This character will perform Magic tricks, improvised drama and humorously clever pantomimic acting. He will also interact with the Musician and Vocalist inducing the audience into laughter and gleeful merry-making. Salary: $1,200/ week. The Job would require relocating to the Central Florida area. Musician and or Vocalist would be required to perform daily aprox. ( 5) 20 minute performance sets. The lutenist must be able to perform underscore music while the Jester is performing to guests. Vocalist would most likely perform 3 - 4 Short period Vocal pieces per set. applicants should be able to supply a short 1 - 2 minute web video (such as a youtube video). Music genre: Italian Renaissance/early baroque. Video quality does not have to be great. I'm mainly looking for playing ability and presence. The job does require that the troupe be mobile, so the applicant video should feature him or her standing while playing. In addition: 1 Photo and a short Bio. Disney does want to proceed with the concept. I should also let you know that the performances are meant to be lively and cheerful... so happy, easy-going personalities are welcome. Performance schedule will not exceed 5 (20 -30 minute sets) daily. 5 days a week. See Below for a video link to the concept presentation I recently made to Disney.
