ROKKO OROSHI !!! TORA WA TSUYOI NE !!!

(From the Winds of Mt. Rokko... the Tigers are strong, ain't they !)

In December 2007 I was invited to meet Mr. Tsuneaki Miyazaki, owner of my favorite baseball team, the Hanshin Tigers of Osaka, Japan. We had a most enjoyable conversation followed by a press conference at which he crowned my head with a Tigers cap (shown above). Subsequently the Tigers have launched their 2008 season with a mass of victories nearly unprecedented in the history of Japanese baseball (as of May they are sporting a gaudy .720 winning percentage). I like to think that it has something to do with my influence, of course.

HERE'S WHERE I'LL BE PERFORMING NEXT !

2008

In January and February, I played recitals in Nelson, Trail and Coquitlam, B.C.; Redmond, Oregon; and Palm Springs, California. I made my debut with the Lexington (Kentucky) Philharmonic under the wonderful baton of Daniel Meyer, performing the Schumann Piano Concerto. March brought a few visits to the Province of Alberrrrrta, playing at the University of Calgary and at Festival Place in Sherwood. Then it was back home to Vancouver for a faculty recital at UBC on their Pacific Spirit Series, and a beautiful train ride to Seattle to repeat the program at lovely Town Hall. Later in April I gave a cabaret concert with mezzo Debi Wong at the Cellar Jazz Club in Vancouver -- all-Gershwin and Dana Suesse -- and then flew to New York for recitals at the Metropolitan Museum and Greenwich House Music School, and a Master Class at my old stomping grounds of New York University. As I write these words in early May, I am preparing for a very busy summer's journey through Edmonton, Boston, Toronto, Montreal, Sacramento, and Prague, Czech Republic. Please stay tuned!
