A New Hope

Well, I've been thinking about putting together a website for a while now, but I never seem to have the time, due to my performance and rehearsal schedule. And a number of my friends complain to me about not updating my personal blog often enough, which is also due to my rehearsal schedule. And I often hear from my friends that they don't know about my performances until after they are done, which frustrates both the friend and me.

So it occurred to me the other day that I could fix a number of problems with one simple method... Keep a blog of my upcoming events, perhaps with a post-mortem or two on some of the concerts. That way, since I'm so busy, I'll always have something to write about (I hope!) and both the friends who want to hear news and the ones who want to know about my upcoming gigs will be satisfied.

Ironically enough, the first post that I'm going to put up is an ad for my LAST performance with Apogee Vocal Jazz. I've been singing with them for three years, and I've decided that I want to focus on my classical solo work. But we just cut a CD over Christmas, and we're going to have a CD release party... and now for the official stuff...

The Concert/CD Release will be held at the Martial-Caron Theatre in St Boniface College. Admission for the evening will be five dollars. CDs will be sold to concert-goers for $7. After that the price will be $10. Tickets can be purchased through me, or any other Apogee member (if you know any of the following... Simone Gendron, Kristel Peters, Liane Ouimet, Tina Klein, Jodie Borle or Paul Graham), or at the door. The show starts at 8 pm, and we will have our favourite combo with us, made up of Christien Lyons, Kelly Marques and Jonathan Alexiuk (if all goes according to plan).

I'll try to post the poster for the event. Hope to see as many people as possible out for this one.
