Upcoming concert of 1. the lovely choir I conduct, and 2. a really fun cake with my mugshot (oops, headshot) alongside Handel and our harpsichordist right on the frosting! The Handel class was at NEC; the JP Jubilee is 75+ singers right in Jamaica Plain.
Handel arias at NEC
“Hey, nice trill!”
It’s Handel and his world this semester, Wednesday evenings at New England Conservatory in their School of Continuing Education. We begin January 23 at 7:00.
Come and learn to:
- Sing stylishly
- Make your recitatives into a great story
- Create your own ornaments

Not throwing away my shot!
This is late notice, but hey, it’s good to know at any time that elders can learn to do hip-hop…and I will do a cameo solo in Deborah Henson-Conant’s song about the library, in honor of our return to the newly renovated branch library where we have met since we started in 2013. Lots of good fun, and short, too!
Make Music on the Longest Day
I was happy to find this quote, because I’ve been thinking about it. Come on Tuesday evening to the Boston Common and do a Circle Sing with us–it’s Make Music Day–Fete de la Musique since it started in France…
Lots of places to hear music, but here is the link to MAKING music with others. participatory events Website for the whole shebang Make Music Boston 2016
If you don’t know what a Circle Sing is, just come and try–nothing required, just listen and let us play together while making beautiful, new sounds. We learned it from Bobby McFerrin, and we take turns leading. How about that? Parkman Bandstand, Boston Common, 6-7:30pm on Tuesday June 21, 2016. All free. Come any old time, drop by after work…
Another opportunity to start singing
Happy Together
Our concerts are fun, short and full of variety. Come enjoy this delightful group of neighbors. I conduct this creative (and wacky) group. Actually, I think I’m the wacky one, but they definitely follow me.
