  This message is for anyone who has the ability to host a performing group in 
their community this spring.  This is an opportunity to host a European singing 
group from the Czech Republic.  If you want more details, please read on----

  I have been corresponding for a while on the Internet with Dr. Tomas Novotny, 
a professor at the University of Ostrava in the Czech Republic.  He teaches a 
course there called Hebrew Through Song (Adash).  Using traditional Hebrew 
songs taught in a certain order he has developed a way to teach the basics of 
Hebrew vocabulary and grammar to his students.  Interestingly enough, the class 
has gradually attracted attention for its musicality and the quality of their 
singing.  He recently sent me a CD they had made and it is truly extraordinary. 
 The girls voices are outstanding and the blend that they get is gorgeous.

  The group will be on the East Coast during the month of March and they are 
looking to fill in some dates.  I will repeat that this is a wonderful 
opportunity mainly because there is little money involved.  They do ask that 
transportation be provided from their previous location, lodging in homes is 
fine and food.  They have no set "concert fee" but would ask for a donation.  
There are approximately 15-20 people in the group.

  On March 15 they will be in New Brunswick, NJ, on March 19th, Erie, PA, on 
March 22, Virginia.  If anyone would like more information, or if you think you 
could bring them to your community, please get in touch with me.  This is a 
wonderful opportunity for cultural sharing and I know you will be impressed 
with the talent of this group.
