a Sunday afternoon, early in June, 2010
This is an open invitation to all Chiffies to participate in a concert next June!
Our church has a talent show every spring. Our congregation has a large range of musical experience, all the way from the 10 yr old violinist squeaking their way through Old Joe Clark to teens playing recital pieces and adults performing their favorites.
For 2 years I've had the idea of having an ITM - themed concert, featuring both our own musicians and.... Chiffie guest musicians. Last Sunday I ran the idea past my choir director, and she gave me a very enthusiastic OK.
My vision for this concert would be to have music that runs a gamut from pure drop through pop / ITM (similar to Altan) and even (at least one) Newage number. (I'm sure anyone who found that unbearably repugnant could step outside a few minutes for a smoke or a cup of coffee...)
I'm picturing that anyone visiting from a ways off could make a 3-day weekend of it, taking the opportunity to visit the Smithsonian, the Baltimore Aquarium, and other local attractions. It's not bad getting from here to the Metro, which takes you to DC. We could probably manage overnight accommodations with the musically-inclined folks from our church.
I've never been to a pub session in Baltimore, but I hear they exist... that might be a good way to spend Saturday evening
Let me know if you'd be interested in participating, or if you have any creative ideas to add.
