Just thought I'd mention again that if you're in the DC area, please
consider coming to the "Orchestra of the 17th Century" concert this coming
weekend.  Something a little different from the usual bluster you're used
to hearing from Washington these days!

Here's the particulars:

Orchestra of the 17th Century, with Guest Conductor Lance Friedel, The
Shepherd College Chamber Choir, and soloists Melissa Raymond, soprano;
Sharon Barnum, alto; Scott Williamson, tenor; and Brian Chu,
bass--presents:

"Lenten Music from the Holy City"

Featuring music by Giacomo Carissimi (1605 - 1674):  "Jephte", with more
Lenten choral and chamber works by Carissimi, Palestrina and trio sonatas
by Corelli.

Rob Ellis, Jason LeBrun, and Michael O'Connor recorders
Marlisa Woody and Wendy Harton, violins
Jeff van Osten, cello
Bozena Jedrzejczak, organ
Tim Miller, theorbo

 [Not an "orchestra" in the sense most CM listeners are used to by any
means, but for music of this season it's not meant to be big and flashy]

Saturday, February 23, 2002 St.  Columba's Episcopal Church, 4201 Albemarle
Street, NW Washington, DC (Metro:  Tenleytown - Red Line)

8:00 pm, with pre-concert talk at 7:15.
