Fascinating! I can't apply, but I did once share a pizza with the guys
who do the taiko performances at Epcot. If I recall correctly they
thought it was a great gig.
Best to all, and keep playing,
Chris.

Subject: Disney World call for lutenist and singer
Dear Friends,
I'm sending this in case you have any students or colleagues looking
for employment. (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

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.
