Re: Kol Isha becomes a reality

Dear Shirona,
thanks so much for bringing up this issue. I never quite understood the basis 
of this problem when my CD was rejected unheard by some Jewish radio stations, 
until you started the whole emotional and so educational conversation some 
weeks ago. For the first time, I am in the midst of a similar controversy 
regarding live performance: I am in charge of organizing music (3 or 4 world 
music ensembles, 1 of these Jewish, my group, I thought) for an international 
annual meeting of certain professionals, to take place at Four Seasons in 
Toronto. Many of the one thousand or so attendees will be women. Most will not 
be Jewish. Yet, my own performance with my colleagues is in question because 4 
of the local professionals are orthodox. This is just to say, I know how you 
feel.  They should pay you anyways. Hope you find a better gig soon.
