Down
80
to
American Canyon,
dropping off music for Teresa Foss (who we hope to feature in the excerpts from Cats, Dogs, and Divas, Op. 104, as well as John Bilotta's League of Minor Characters and Helena Michelson's The Mysteries.
Zig-zagging
about,
back up
to the
freeway again,
and
over to Berkeley to touch base with
Meaghan Dibble, who will be in the Michelson, as well as Doug Brandt's My Little Secret and Alan Crossman's Veganlied (both excellent singers to be featured in the Crossman And Now... The Humans! as well) -- all this re Goat Hall Productions / San Francisco Cabaret Opera's Fresh Voices XVII Festival of new Music: 2017 -- Feet First into the Fire! (8pm, Saturdays, August 5 / 12, Bay Area Stage, 551 Broadway, Vallejo; 7:30pm, Saturday, August 19, St. Alban's Church, Albany [CA]; 4pm, Sunday, August 29, Community Music Center, Capp Street, San Francisco).
Next,
across the Bay,
delivering
Erling Wold
the long-overdue master CD recording of the recent San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra's Alternate Facts and Lying Together concert (this past May 6 at St. Mark's Lutheran Church, SF -- which featured The Decameron: Eighth Day ["Cheating Wives and Other Indescretions"], Op. 262 -- recordings of all pieces which should now soon appear at sfcco.org.
With no end in sight,
off to Goat Hall,
to collect various odds-and-ends left in the old venue,
which perhaps someday will be concert-,
or at least rehearsal-ready,
once again...
Still more tasks at hand,
over to Songbird Studio on 24th,
lateralling music over to Ashten Smith,
then crosstown to Chinatown and the
delightful
Clarion
Music
Center,
getting of sense of Clara Hsu's performance spaces, poetry, and translations.
At
last
homeward,
but
a
circuituous
path:
Marin,
up
101
to
Novato,
past
Mt. Burdell
and
Olompali,
through San Antonio Valley into
Sonoma,
Petaluma,
a petrol
stop,
Frates,
116
to
12,
over
the
Napa
border,
downslope
into
the
Valley,
up
canyon
into
Solano.
87th day of summer,
high again dropping 5,
to 88
(so, a 10-degree fall in 2 days, and, with this, we have had exactly as many intervals of printemps as of ete -- although there were 3 winter interludes to tip the balance)....
