I've recently begun a very productive collaboration with Jay Carter, a countertenor from the Kansas City area. He and I have a series of recitals in the next couple months and I'd like invite folks who might be interested to come out for the performances. Jay is a wonderful young singer and I think he will be reaching a wider audience in the not-too-distant future. The programs consist principally of Purcell and Dowland with 2 very interesting theater songs by Robert Parsons for alto voice and bass lute. I'm playing theorbo, bass lute & baroque guitar on the program. This is what I have so far: Feb 4: St. Louis, MO, Trinity Presbyterian Church, 7pm Feb 5: Cape Girardeau, MO, Christ Episcopal Church, 3pm Feb 14, St. Louis, MO, The Sheldon Concert Hall, 7:30 pm $$ (This concert is Italian cantatas by Rossi, Bononcini & Cazzti with 3 singers and a small string band) Mar. 12, Maryville, MO Northwest MO State U, time TBA [Mar 11--possible date in Omaha, NE, still in negotiations] Mar 18--Champaign, IL--Monterverdi Vespers, time TBA $$ Mar 20--Bloomington/Normal, IL, Illinois State U, time TBA I think most of these performances will be free, though a couple (marked $$) I know do have admissions. If you need more info about locations, directions, etc, drop me a note. Thanks for humoring me. jeff
