I'll do a concert together with harpist Francis PIERRE during the Semaines
Musicales Internationales d'Orl�ans on friday 15 October. The programme
contains
some microtonal works:

Alois HABA - Suite Nr.2 Opus 63 for quartertone guitar (1947) (French
premiere)

Pascale CRITON - La Ritournelle et le Galop (1995) for quartertone guitar
provided with six low E-strings tuned a 1/16th tone apart (E, E+1/16, E,
E+1/16, E+2/16, E+3/16), thus covering a full octave in 96 equal steps.

Philippe LEROUX - IAL (1989) for guitar and harp. Strings number six, four
and two of the guitar are tuned a quartertone up. The harp part is
originally for celtic harp with 30 strings. Tuning is special, using steps
of 1/4 tone, 1/2 tone, 3/4 tone and whole tone.

The concert is in the church Saint-Pierre-du-Martroi in the center of
Orl�ans and starts at 20h30. Sorry, America and everybody too far away. It's
important though to let you know and I hope I'll see some french members.
