I just sent this email out to a bunch of people from my family and some friends and stuff, and I wanted to post it here too. I'm so excited for this, and I would be happy and honored if some (e:strip) folks were there!...

As some of you know, I have spent the last year or so selecting and preparing a great deal of music with the intention of giving a second recital. (I enjoyed my first one too much to not do another one!) I have really enjoyed all of the work and time that I have spent putting together a program, and I'm writing in hopes that you will be able to join me when it FINALLY happens! The recital (yet to be titled) will take place on Friday, June 8 at 7:00 pm, at Blessed Sacrament Church in downtown Buffalo. Selections include music by Henry Purcell, Clara Schumann, Benjamin Britten, Erik Satie, Harold Arlen, Irving Berlin and Meredith Wilson, as well as a newly-arranged set of American folk songs.

I will have some more information as the date approaches (it will be here before I know it!), but I wanted to let you all know a little bit in advance!

Again, I hope that you can join me and enjoy the evening as much as I plan to!
