Dear Josée,
Thank you so much for offering to forward our information. Here it is:

To whom it may concern,
I am currently in the process of organizing concerts in the US for March of
2002 based on an invitation for concerts and masterclass with harpist Judy
Kadar
Swarthmore College (3/22) and Northwestern University (4/2).
I take the liberty of sending information:
The duo with Historical and Pedal harps (Judy Kadar) and Alto voice
(Elizabeth Neiman) will be performing the program "Songs of the
Diaspora", with works from 1000 years of Jewish music from the Ashkenazy and
Sephardic traditions. Rather than using a printed program we give a running
commentary of translations, historical anecdotes and explanations that we
can tailor
to fit the needs and interests of different audiences. We augment the
traditional music
with medieval, renaissance and 20th century compositions that either pertain
to Jewish
themes, as in Ravel's setting of the Kaddish, or are by Jewish composers.
All works
are in our own transcriptions or settings for voice and harp.

A big advantage of this program is that we can play it in almost any roofed
space - a museum foyer, an atrium, a train station or even someone's living
room. Attatched is our flyer - I hope it doesn't get scrambled in
transmission. We are presented in the internet portal
http://www.Milch-und-Honig; I think there is some music
to download there, too.
If you would prefer hard copy,  please let me know so that I can send it.
(it looks and sounds nicer that way, anyway). Our CD has been in several
radio broadcasts and is getting good
press so far. If you would like excerpts as a Demo, please let me know.
I look forward to your reply,
Sincerely
Elizabeth Neiman
