Also, be sure to check out Chris's music - he is an excellent saxophonist in his own right!

CONTRA COSTA TIMES, FEB. 5th
REVIEW OF CALIFORNIA SYMPHONY 

"Adiemus" is upbeat and vaguely African-sounding. Jekowsky conducted a committed performance, featuring Ernie Mansfield on electronic flute, with Karl Perazzo and Walfredo Reyes Sr. on various African drums and congas. Under the direction of Iris Lamanna, the Contra Costa Children's Chorus delivered Jenkins' wordless text with exuberant flair."

By Georgia Rowe TIMES CORRESPONDENT

(Actually, the "electronic flute" is my EWI - which stands for
"Electric Wind Instrument")

OPEN EXCHANGE

Please check out my article in the "OPEN EXCHANGE"- available throughout the SF Bay Area - also check out Susan Waters' Creative Movement Class (listed under "dance" in the same publication). Susan has a great dance class where even non-dancers can feel completely at ease - and you can usually see me there, making a complete fool of myself!
