I want to purchase one copy of Anthems for Men’s Voices 2.  It is currently out of print.  Does anyone have a single copy that they are willing to sell?

Does anyone know how you would go about finding and or renting a portative organ?  We used a very nice one in a performance in Notre Dame and would prefer to use one in an upcoming performance of Mozart Vespers instead of a harpsichord.  We are in Lexington, KY any assistance or suggestions would be […]

Does anyone know if Maria Guinand is presenting the Golijev San Marco Passion in the US anywhere other than Disney Hall in LA in late April? I’d love to know if I can see a performance somewhere closer to home. Many thanks!

After all the posts about doing your own work, I hesitate to post this!    ‘ve been given an udu, a Nigerian drum, and I’m looking for published (or not) SATB repertory with which I can use the drum.  I’ve only found a few Christmas carols.  Are there some Nigerian pieces out there I’m missing?  And am I being […]
