Concerts and a Recording

I have lots of concerts coming up over the next couple months, kicking it off on Nov 4 at 3pm with Brian Luckett for our duoATL concert at Northside Drive Baptist Church for their Music on the Hill series. You can get directions and more information here: http://www.nsdbc.org/

I also have a new concert to announce. I will be performing a work by Brian Chamberlain for flute and guitar (Brian Chamberlain will be playing guitar) at Georgia State University on November 30 at noon. Brian is a graduate student in music composition at the University. I have also recorded a piece of his for solo flute called "Sense of Blue", which you can listen to the recording as well as other pieces here: http://www.nobridantes.com/mp3.php

He is an excellent composer and what I have seen of the flute and guitar work it should be a very exciting piece, not that I'm biased...well maybe a little :)

There's also other Mercury Season and duoATL concerts coming up, but I'll give more details closer to the concert dates!

What a week!


After virtually killing my coworker and his friend handily at the 5k race, I did in fact get a dog at the adoption they were having at the race. I got an American Bulldog/Dalmatian mix who happens to be deaf. I named him Sam, after Samuel Barber. This works out great for me because I can bring him to rehearsals with me and I do not need to worry about all the howling. He doesn't hear a thing.
My computer also half died last week, so I got a new computer. Fortunately the boyfriend is coming to the rescue to get all the data off the hard drive. I perhaps waited too long to get a new computer. Eeek!
Tonight duoATL is performing at Hungry Ear. The show starts at 8, but we don't go on until 9 and play a 30 minute set. You can get more info here: http://nwuuc.org/index/programs/hungry_ear_coffee_house
duoATL has also been asked to perform on Studio GPB. It is a radio show produced here in Atlanta and broadcasts on every npr station in Georgia with the exception of Atlanta, ironic huh? We record on November 17 and get an hour set with an interview. I'll let you know when it airs. You can find more information about the show and find a station here: http://www.gpb.org/public/radio/studiogpb/
