    If you need help with directions or have questions, email or call me at 314-863-2656.
    I know it's a work night, but the concert won't be that long. I'm pleased with the way thing have been falling into place at rehearsals. It should be a very pleasant, uplifting experience.

During the summer, I recommend the Gateway Festival Orchestra concerts at Wash U. quadrangle on Sunday eves in July. They are excellent outdoor concerts featuring symphonies, soloists and pops stuff. People bring families, blankets, picnics etc. and Gateway sells Ted Drewes and other refreshments.

In the fall, look for my announcements re U. City Symphony concerts at COCA and other venues, and Klezundheit! at CRC's Simchat Torah celebration and Classic 99's Rhapsody in Bloom at the Botanical Gardens. Hope to see y'all soon.
