An Invitation Having Nothing Whatsoever to Do With Football
I know the vast majority of my readers are from elsewhere, but for those of you who live in Pittsburgh, I am running the final performance of my concert The Heart of Darkenss tonight in Highland Park.
You may wonder about the name. The concert is intended to shine a light on a couple of corners of human trafficking, and the music ranges from Renaissance polyphony to U2 and lots in between. For more information you can go to our website.
For even more information than anyone might ever want to know (and which you can read even if you can’t or couldn’t imagine coming to the concert) you can find a web program here:
If you should happen to come please come up and say hello afterwards. There will be a reception (free food, people : ) and I would love to meet you personally. If you would really like to come but can’t afford a ticket contact me at rebecca@rollett.org sometime before 3 pm today and I will leave one for you at the door.

I don’t have time to read the program book just now but I do plan on giving it a thorough going over. The little I saw and read was impressive. Just one question though… who wrote the lengthy article? I didn’t notice a credit in the program book.
I was surprised to see Over the Rhein mentioned here. I was aware of them through the Winnipeg Folk Festival (I like what little I had had a chance to hear) but I never associated them with more formal music. Cool.

Which lengthy article? I wrote everything in the book except quotes that I credited, I hope… Over the Rhine isn’t associated with more formal music. They agreed to let me arrange one of their songs for the concert, and while it’s perhaps a bit more formal than the version on their album, it’s definitely in the same vein. I mixed up a lot of things in this concert.
