Quick thing (about the Goddess Concert)

[WretchAwry <vickie@pilot.njin.net>]

Chris and I are back from our Toronto trip and I'll be posting about
it (in Ecto, don't worry Marcel) later. I did want to pass something
along to North Americans though.

The Christmas concert, called "A Choral Christmas," featuring

Jane Siberry - Holly Cole - Mary Margaret O'Hara
     Victoria Williams - Rebecca Jenkins 

(plus, Tim Ray on piano)

will be broadcast on CBC *and* NPR...

CBC will broadcast it twice:

"Hot Ticket"

CBC Radio 740 - Saturday December 25, 1993 at 7:08pm
CBC Stereo 94.1 - Sunday December 26, 1993 at 8:05pm

There should be ads promoting the concert in Canada on radio, television 
(definitely Much Music) and in print. 

I know *nothing* about the NPR broadcasts except that in the program
guide it says:

"This program will also be aired on over 200 National Public Radio
member stations throughout the United States."

so I'd advise those in the USA to call their local NPR station for
details. Even if you're not familiar with these women (any or all)
and even if you think you *hate* Christmas music, this concert
*SHOULD NOT BE MISSED*. It was **AMAZING**!!

(Canadians might get to hear my dulcet tones :-). A fella from the 
CBC interviewed me before the concert. He was quite impressed when
I told him that we'd driven from Chicago to Toronto *just* for the
concert.)

Here's more from the program guide:

"Jane Siberry has invited some of her favorite singers to join her in
this one-time-only choral adventure.  The collective has visited 
libraries and poured through hundreds of traditional titles to select
the repertoire for this special Christmas gathering.  Join these
innovative song stylists for an evening of wry vocal interpretations
of Christmas favorites."

(I'll probably post this to some Newsgroups too)
