I just found a review of the Zlatko Cosic's collaboration for the 2007 International mix. in Swedish http://gd.se/kultur/musik/1.874411# From RobVoisey at VoxNovus.com Thu Oct 29 23:27:46 2009 From: RobVoisey at VoxNovus.com (Robert Voisey (Vox Novus)) Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:27:46 -0400 Subject: [Voxnovus] XL concert - and a call for works - all because I have a birthday coming up Message-ID: <20091030032746.71BA2D4C57@qs281.pair.com> O.k... so I am turning 40 December 8th. I guess this is what it feels like to be in a mid-life crisis. I live in New York City, so I am not going to buy a sports car. So what then? I guess I will do what I know best. and that is throw a concert. Tuesday December 8th 2009 8:00 PM I am having a concert for my birthday at Christ St Steven's Church in New York City. So here is the deal... Anyone who is interested in playing one of my pieces or a piece dedicated to me let me know and I will fit you onto the program. And for all you composer's out there. I am calling for one minute solo piano pieces written for especially this concert. I have a great piano player willing to play a bunch of them (hopefully 15) but they should be idiomatic and somewhat easy to play because of the short time in which to learn them. No electronics. sorry.it is too complicated a setup this time round. plus aren't you sick of my electronic stuff anyway? Oh yeah. and if you are in town. why not come on by and wish me a happy birthday? P.S. I am calling the concert XL . get it? See you there, Rob Robert Voisey RobVoisey at VoxNovus.com 60x60 Director Living Music Foundation Vice President Founder of Vox Novus http://www.VoxNovus.com
