*APRIL*

12 - Doug Cox & Salil Bhatt @ TBA

Nice. I missed Doug's show (The Strung Tour w/ April Verch, Tony McManus) at the Lighthouse Theater in Port Dover back in november, even though I had a ticket (argh), so I hope I can make this one.

Yeah Esau, this will be my first time seeing Doug Cox and I can't wait. Its being put on by Small World, a promoter who brings in all sorts of cool world music artists. I recently bought Cox & Bhatt's album "Slide To Freedom" and its very cool. VM Bhatt guests on several tracks, including "A Meeting By The Liver". lol.

Also there's a new Cox & Sam Hurrie album out eh! Its available for purchase over the net. Doesn't look like its being released on a label per se, which is kinda surprising. I've been revisiting "Hungry Ghosts" a lot lately.

Cool Kev, hopefully see you there, if you hear about tickets & a location (I assume TBA = To be announced?) please be sure to post the info eh, I'll do the same.

Thanks for the heads up on the new Doug & Sam disc.

April 30 & May 1st

Toronto Symphony Orchestra will play Arvo Pärt's 'Fratres'. I was turned on to Arvo Part about a year ago and would love to see this composition played live.

Anyone else here ever check out Arvo Part?

Also on the bill: Prokofiev 'Piano Concerto No. 3' and Tchaikovsky 'Symphony No. 4'.
