On August 23rd, the members of Meravelha will be presenting an all-new show “The Road Most Traveled” at the IBERICA Early Music festival to be held in Boston.
The Road Most Traveled features music from several stops along the ancient pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela and explores the both the lighter and more ponderous aspects of the religious journey, culminating in the celebration of arrival.
Several friends are performing in BEMF concerts this year. These will be great concerts, please attend if you can. There is a lot of variety here so there should be something for everyone.
I’m participating in two jewelry shows this weekend, please come and see me!
Saturday I’ll be a part of Somerville Open Studios at location #15. This is as a part of the Somerville Local Artists Market at The Burren in Davis Square. I’ll have my jewelry for sale and would love to see you there.
On Sunday I’ll be vending as a part of Harvard Square Mayfair. I’ll be on Church Street under a red tent near the bead store and Border Cafe. Please come and check out my cool new setup. There will be great food, vendors, music, and entertainment for the whole family.
The weather will be absolutely beautiful this weekend so please come out and enjoy all that Cambridge and Somerville have to offer. The hours both days are 12-6.
I hope to see you there.

Despite the best attempts of Old Man Winter, The Seraphim Singers have rescheduled our Russian music concert originally scheduled for 2/10 and 2/17.
As some of you may have noticed, New England has had some snow lately. Notably last weekend and this most recent one. This has had some impacts on things like travel, collapsing houses, high tides, massive powers outages, etc.
On a less massive scale, it also caused the cancellation or postponement of all sorts of events. Among them were concerts that my friends and I were supposed to perform in. Ah, winter.
Hi folks. It’s that time again. Spring music making in Boston is almost upon us. I’ve been receiving a lot of mail lately about audition opportunities and upcoming concerts. Some of these I’ll repost individually later as the date of the concert approaches.

Regular readers around here know that Geoff and I are huge fans of The Bloggess. We also happen to think that Neil Gaiman is pretty awesome and that Amanda Palmer is pretty cool.
I signed up to work an event featuring Nick Flynn and Ty Burr and who was more surprised than me when Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman showed up? Bloggess? This is for you.

Most of us think of the sound of poverty, or of being poor, as the voice of the homeless guy who sings out his need for spare change near the subway station or the bark of the homeless dog seeking scraps for supper. For many of us this noise fades into the background of every day life.
For American the fear of poverty inches closer every day with some of the impending financial decisions our government has to make in the next few days to stave off some serious cuts that will destroy the lives of many of the poorest and many of the middle class in the country. But that’s an American problem.
Then there’s the rest of the world.
