For those of you in the New York City area:

Come see Shakespeare's The Tempest at the Pulse Ensemble Theatre...
my wife Linda has a part in it, and I suddently got drafted to do all
the music for it.

I'm using the correct tuning for the time, 1/4 comma meantone... and
incorporating music from the period as well...

It's all very "rush, rush" at the moment, but here is the performance
schedule:

Friday, August 24 (opening night) 8PM

Sat. Aug. 25, 8PM, Sunday, August 26 7PM (note time change for
Sundays)

Wed. - Sat. 8/29- 9/1, 8PM (no Sunday)

Wed. - Sat. 9/5 - 9/8, 8PM (Sunday, 9/9 7PM)

Wed. - Sat. 9/12-9/15, 8PM (no Sunday)

PULSE ENSEMBLE THEATRE
Reservations: 212-695-1596

Thanks, Jacky! I'll look into this... Greenaway's kind of a "wild
