St. Paul’s Episcopal Church presents Stages: An Operetta
Ann Marie McPhail, soprano, and Pamela Dillard, mezzo-soprano, perform Stages, a new operetta whose libretto deals with the various stages of life. This promises to be an exciting and entertaining afternoon with these incredibly talented women. In 2008, Ms. McPhail and Ms. Dillard both graced the stage of the Opera Comique in Paris in a critically acclaimed long run of George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess. Both women are professors of voice in the Music Department of Spelman College, and both women are staff singers in the Music Department St. Paul’s. Come enjoy an afternoon of drama and fabulous music making!
St. Paul’s is located at 306 Peyton Road SW, Atlanta, GA 30311. Visit their site at http://www.stpaulsatl.org/.

Amandla Arts Trio in LaGrange, Georgia
The Amandla Arts Trio is appearing in LaGrange, GA during the “Summer Festival of Music” event sponsored by The West Georgia Chapter of Morris Brown College National Alumni Association. I hope that I can get down to LaGrange for this event. I have heard Amandla Arts Trio before and it is definitely worth the $10.00 admission to hear them.

- Annihilating The Ivories: A Solo Piano Workout MixEven if the simple mechanics of "Chopsticks" elude you, you can still experience the rush of playing a piano concerto -- by exercising. The pieces in this mix are not recommended for the faint of heart. […]

- Lee Ritenour: A Half-Century Of Jazz GuitarWhen Ritenour visited the KPLU/Jazz24 studios on an unseasonably cool August afternoon, he arrived with a rhythm section hot enough to raise Seattle's temperature a few degrees: drummer Will Kennedy and bassist Melvin Davis. Together, they laid down three delightful tracks. […]
