September, October 2002 Updates:
I participated in my very last Rheinfest on the Missisippi. This year I was music director, singer, and pianist for a small ensemble of singers. We performed at the gala fundraiser and the actual Fest.
We were well received, but both performance "halls" were unsuitable. The acoustics were not acceptable, so I was not happy with the results myself. Finally, I don't think our classical program, eventhough light, makes much sense in this casual beer tent athmosphere, so I decided to discontinue my support of the Rheinfest.
Next I conducted the musical Fiddler on the Roof (above: see me addressing the audience)
for seven performances in St. Francis, Minnesota.
The producer was Playhouse 15. A big challenge that turned into a great success. We had a very good turnout as well. "Fiddler" is one of my top five favorites anyway, so I'm glad for the happy ending...

This is a comedy about the 50's. Besides famous songs like "Put on a happy face," the music is a fun variety of many memorable tunes. You will want to see the show more than once! We have an enthusiastic cast of over 50 people from 9 to 60, and a 13-piece orchestra!
