Shameless Plug

So I know I don't do this too often, but I'm in a performance of Verdi's Requiem with the New York Philharmonic tonight, Saturday, and next Tuesday. It's been a wonderful rehearsal process, and we opened last night to a full house, and it sounded fabulous.

Now, I know most of you don't even live in New York, and even if you do, you don't have the kind of time and money to get a ticket to see this performance, but if you do and you do, get a ticket, because it's really good. If, however you would love to be there but you can't, the performances are being recorded and will be broadcast sometime in the very near future, presumably on WQXR. I did a Google search, and it seems that the broadcast itself is owned by WFMT and they're shopping it out to whichever radio station wants to play it. Call your classical radio station and request it! Dude, this is sincerely the best performance of Verdi's Requiem I have ever been a part of, and although hearing it on the radio won't be as cool as listening to it live, it's definitely a good second.

And now, back to your regularly scheduled program.
