Railings for Risers
Aloha, I teach in a small private school. A year ago we purchased some wonderful Wenger Tourmaster portable risers, which have worked nicely. Considering purchasing the back and side rails also, but it’s quite an expenditure for us. Thoughts?
A Cappella Neapolitan arrangements
Colleagues, I’m not making much headway in my search for music of Southern Italy for our tour. Keep sending those ideas along (and I do know of Palestrina).

The Mountain View High School Madrigals were stranded in Paris for a week past their return date after the ash cloud from the volcano prompted airport closures throughout the […]
Brahms Requiem – 2 pianos or organ?

Our concert venue has a large, fine pipe […]
