The Calm Before the Storm and an e-mail from Sunny Climes

Hello All,

Steve and Chung are safely ensconced with family (and dog) in chilly Vermont and Chicago, but still working away. Chung has reverted to hermitdom with the score to the Mahler/Stein Symphony No. 4, while Steve continues working on publicity materials and all of the other print essentials for our debut concert. Even in the midst of this quiet reverie we have exciting news to report, as we received a very nice e-mail from Greg Stepanich, the music critic for the Palm Beach Post, about doing a post on his blog featuring Project Copernicus. He even said that there might be some interest in doing a feature article in the Post, so we will be sure to be as interesting as possible when we speak with him!

In other news: Carol from Arts at St. John's has very generously provided us with 5000(!) postcards, 4000 of which we Project Copernicus members will distribute and post. Let's drum up lots of interest and pack the houses on Jan. 20 and 21.

Father Perry and everybody at St. Matthew's have been simply spectacular. They have really gone above and beyond, providing rehearsal space, housing guest artists, and now handling the reception. Jean Carmichael at St. Matthew's has been described as the "Hostess with the Mostest" and Jeff Alban, the Music Director at St. Matthew's reported that this is the case several times.

We're looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship with both of these wonderful organizations going ahead.

Hope everybody has had a wonderful holiday season thus far, and all best wishes from Project Copernicus for a safe and prosperous New Year.
