Hi All,
Palm Beach Post music Critic Greg Stepanich has written a thoughtful and lengthy piece on his blog about our concert at St. John's on Jan. 21. Here's a link:

We're moving on several other fronts right now. We've got Matthew Sarelson, a lawyer on South Beach doing our 501c3 filing for us pro bono, we finally have a checking account open courtesy of Emilio Vazquez at Coconut Grove Bank and some money to put into it thanks to the generous people who donated money during our last concert cycle.
Speaking of which...
We have two concert cycle coming up. One a baroque concert featuring lesser known Italian baroque composers including Leonardo Leo and Francesco Geminiani at beautiful Vizcaya Mueseum and Gardens on May 6 (vizcayamuseum.org, check it out-it's gorgeous) and the second a cycle of music from the near and far east featuring pC percussionist Rod Squance running from May 11-13th. Lots of cool stuff going on. More to come...

Hello all Copernicans,
It has been a while, but we've been up to things. Most importantly, we've tentatively scheduled concerts for the 10-12 of May (info here: http://projectcopernicus.org/Concerts.html) featuring Rod Squance, one of our fine percussionists. We're still working on firming up venues, and we're looking to extend our reach into Broward (Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood) and West Palm Beach. We'll get those firmed up soon and let you know when we do.
Steve and I have decided to start a press out of pC (http://projectcopernicus.org/pC%20Publishing.html) to help disseminate the music of our artists as widely as possible. We have many talented composers and arrangers on our roster and we're going to make sure they get heard!
Next up on our to do list is a major fundraising campaign. We've been meeting with several people who have been extremely successful at fundraising efforts in Miami and they have been extremely generous with their advice and encouragement. Everybody we've come across is rooting for us to flourish and have been unstinting in their efforts to make it happen.
One last thing: We're official! pC has incorporated in the State of Florida and we're lucky enough to have Miami Beach lawyer Matthew Sarelson (sarelson.com) handling our 501 (c)(3) filing on a pro bono basis. He is very generously donating his expertise through the Miami-Dade County Bar Association's Put Something Back pro bono program. He's a great guy and very enthused about pC.
Moving ahead one step at a time. Drop us a line anytime and let us know if you'd like to have a copy of our debut concert CD. We'll put one in the mail for you right away.
