Hey amy!

I came across your profile and added you as I thought you might be interested in what I am doing.

Please check out the profile and let me know your thoughts! You can do six_events anywhere in the world; just do one or two events if you like.

So far, there will be hundreds of simultaneous performances of six_events in Spain, America, Egypt, China, Japan, England, Canada and Australia.

If you would like me to send you a reminder nearer the time about this then just send a blank email to six_events@yahoo.co.uk

thanks for reading :)

Fantastic work, Amy! Do say hello to Libby Larsen if she's still visiting Peabody. I spoke with her as a member of the American-Soviet Youth Orchestra back in a the late '80s. She wrote a piece for the group. Anyway, keep up the great work.

I had to find you and thank you for planting a seed in my brain when I left Peabody. You probably don't remember it, but the last thing you ever said to me replayed in my brain while I toiled in Sauk Valley. And that was not to give up on being the next Don Malone!!!! Give me about thirty years and maybe I can match his genius. Maybe.

Thanks for the friend request, Amy Beth. Cool music! Also, I'm glad to see there are still fans of Stephen Albert's music out there. Feel free to check out my group, the Great Noise Ensemble, at www.greatnoiseensemble.com or here on My Space. We perform just down the street from you in DC and are always on the lookout for good new music. Nice to meet you!
