I'm happy to announce that I'll be performing in the first concert series with the new group Zefiro. We are based in Providence, and we'll be performing two concerts this weekend and one next weekend. We're doing a concert of Marian Antiphons, with music by Byrd, Victoria, Cornysh, Dufay, and others (including a dash of Poulenc.) There is some really flashy music on the program (hello, Cornysh!) and all of it is gorgeous, and you should come hear us! In twenty years you will be able to say you were there when it all started!
We will be performing on Friday at 8:00 pm in Providence at St. Stephen's Church, 114 George St., Providence, RI. We will also be performing in Somerville on Sunday at 4:00 pm, when we will be at the Nave Gallery, at Clarendon Hill Church, 155 Powderhouse Blvd., Somerville. (And next Friday we will also be performing at 8 pm in Somerville, at the Brickbottom Gallery.)

And it's not choral, but FOUR composers that I think quite highly of and who all composed works for Anthology's last concert are having premieres on the same concert! This Sunday there will be a SWAN Day (Support Women Artists Now Day) festival at the Community Music Center of Boston, and Erin Huelskamp, Eva Kendrick, Ivana Lisak, and Carol Lubowski will all be having works performed. It should be a good time! This will be at 7 pm at Allen Hall, Community Music Center of Boston, 34 Warren Ave., Boston.
