Shira--
Maybe, just maybe, you should gracefully decline (no pun intended!) the
invitation to do the event. I think that you MUST be into whatever you're
performing. If you're not, then it will show and will diminish the overall
performance. It's a tough call because we all love getting gigs, but if it
not "you" then perhaps you just shouldn't do it. It sounds like you have a
good relationship with the organizers though, so don't be afraid to be honest
with them.
In the end, it won't be what they want either if you're not comfortable with
the music you are presenting. That stuff clearly shows though in your
presentation.
I believe you either have to agree on a revised program with the group that
suits your style, or suggest a performer who will give them what they want.
However, don't let them talk you into doing something you're not good at.
They will respect your judgement and honesty. At least they should.....
Good luck--
Steve Dropkin
