Multi-Instrumental Man
I wanted to share yet another extraordinary talent, recorded in the subway system here in NYC. I think as much documentation of this sort of thing as possible is a good thing!

Underground Music (1): A Sideways New Orleans Trio
I apologize in advance for this one, but it may add some flavor to the experience: here we have the first of many videos I've taken while waiting for the subway in NYC. There is such a rich tradition and culture of this "underground" music, that I felt it should be shared, especially with those who don't live or work in NYC. Enjoy!
Nature Sounds (2): Ice Flow on the Hudson
Here we have another set of sounds from nature, this time from the mid-Hudson Valley, and the sound of an ice flow, as the tide comes in, heading up the Hudson on a cold February afternoon in 2013.
Nature Sounds (1): Wind on a Civil War Battlefield
It occurred to me that I'd been taking videos of various "natural" sounds whenever I'd traveled. As I went back to review and re-listen to these clips, I realized their musical qualities--sometimes expressing a quality far superior to that of human-made music. I will begin to share a few of these for your enjoyment. Today, the sound of wind on a battlefield ~ that of the first major battle of the American Civil War, Manassas (or, Bull Run). This was taken in January of 2013.

Concert Updates and Stabat Mater
Friends:
The Traveling Schubert Society has been on a brief writing hiatus, but will be returning soon with several reviews and promotions. A number of concerts have taken place since October, when last I wrote, and look forward to sharing with you these events. Some include concerts at the Burke Library, Columbia University, while others are local and house concerts (old fashioned "salons" and "Schubertiades"). The Orpheus Duo and "What A Neighborhood!" have been active celebrating their 10th Anniversary, here on the Upper West Side, and we look forward to sharing their adventures in good music (as Karl Haas used to say!).
Here are just a few upcoming events:
TONIGHT: Feb. 15, 2013 ~ What a Neighborhood! Concert and Party on 111th Street
(Contact for Details)
WEDNESDAY, March 20th, 2013 ~ Orpheus Returns! Lyrical Interpretations with period instruments, performing Orphaic Hymns based on Marsilius Ficino's writings. The Burke Library, 7:30PM, ALL WELCOME and FREE.
FRIDAYS in April (More info forthcoming) ~ Short Concerts at the Burke Library.
SATURDAY: May 4th, 2013 @ 3PM, join us at the Burke Library for a Greek Orthodox Choral performance. ALL WELCOME and FREE.
AND...
The STABAT MATER Reading:
Early in April, after Easter, What a Neighborhood! and I are planning an informal reading/singing of my recently composed setting of STABAT MATER for mixed, unaccompanied choir. We will likely meet on a week night here on the Upper West Side, and have refreshments or a pot-luck, depending on the location and time. Stay tuned for further updates!
Be well and sing on!
