POST 7: Putting together a working team and informal "advisory board"

    I feel the project is too important to do it alone. Besides Pierre Ruhe, who initiated the Project, Adam Stermer who will handle all the staging, and Carlos Izcaray who is the de facto Conductor of the whole show, I want to bring in some of my best creative Artist friends as artistic advisors, technical advisors, collaborators, and "associate brain stormers" at large.
   I hope this first Cherubini Requiem Project will expand and grow into a series of Cutting Edge Audio Visual Symphonic Events that will put Birmingham and the ASO on the map with the likes of Miami, LA, Berlin, New York, and why not think big,  Sydney.
  So I have so far asked(in alphabetical order) Liesa Cole, Randal Crow, Preuit Holland, and Christophe Nicolet to bring in their various talents. Our first general meeting is this Thursday at my house, starting around a glass of wine, and finishing around the dinner table. I find it the best way to unleash energy, dream big, have fun, and figure out how to do it...   Can't wait for Thursday!

   By the way, Carlos is in town for rehearsal on Wednesday at 10, and performance by the ASO at Railroad park at 8 on Friday. Don't miss it! Bring blankets, chairs, drinks, and wear rainproof clothing just in case.
