    Speaking of Little Grey Girlfriend, check out this New York Times article from Friday’s Arts section about the all-male a cappella ensemble Chanticleer — and mentioning LGG as well as my frequent collaborator Vince Peterson:

    Despite the changes, Mr. Oltman still honors Chanticleer’s past; for example, he remains passionate about Renaissance music. This week Chanticleer performs a series of concerts featuring music by 16th- and 17th-century English composers like Thomas Tallis, William Byrd and Orlando Gibbons. Mr. Oltman also intends to continue commissioning new works, especially by young composers and arrangers like Vince Peterson. He is arranging “Cells Planets,” by the New York indie rock band Little Grey Girlfriend, for the ensemble’s tour next season.

    Two gigs still to come this first month of 2010:
    First off, I’m back with Little Grey Girlfriend this Wednesday night, January 20th, at Union Hall in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Only $5 cover gets you a FREE copy of Cells Planets! We’re on at 9:30 – come early for a game of BOCCE upstairs.

    Then on January 31st I will join a host of great singers in an evening premiering the works of Tony Asaro and Rob Shapiro, at the NYU Grad Musical Theatre Writing building on the Lower East Side. I will be premiering a song of Tony’s from one of his musicals-in-progress. Don’t miss it!

    “So many changes going on these days!” a friend of mine complained over dinner back in March. “I blame Obama.”

    He was talking about breakups, but the same could certainly apply to katiezaffrann.com (and – not coincidentally – katie zaffrann) of late. It’s a work in progress — bear with me!
