Greetings from balmy Chicago!
I hope this finds you warm and snug and enjoying the High Holy Days!
There are lots of things going on.
Siamsa n naGael is Monday, March 12th, at Symphony Center in Chicago. There are still tickets left but a sell out looks possible!
This year we will share the stories of Daniel O'Connell and Frederick Douglass, through music and narration, Martin Sheen is scheduled to narrate, he did such a beautiful job last year. Also singing this year is Rod Dixon, whose voice makes me weep, it is so touching. The Old St. Pat's Choir, myself and a few others will also be singing; the Metropolis Symphony, step dancers and bagpipes round out the evening. For more info go to: www.cso.org

For the first time I can remember, I will be out of town on St. Patrick's Day, Saturday, March 17th! I have been invited to be soloist with the Fox Valley Symphony Orchestra and choruses in Appleton, WI as they perform two Shaun Davies pieces. It is an honor to be part of this wonderful celebration of "Special Olympics Suite" and "The Pilgrim". For tickets and more information, please go to www.foxvalleysymphony.com
Finally I wish you all a happy, healthy spring and safe travels,
