Sorry I didn’t get this note out sooner, but the day job has had me in the field catching fish.  Two more excellent concerts occurring this very weekend were brought to my attention after writing earlier this month.

First, from the Cincinnati area:

DO NOT go to this concert if you detest gorgeous music, rare cultural gems and the magically unique tones of an instrument from long ago!  If you hate this sort of thing be sure to stay home this evening.  (There are some re-runs on TV.)  If, however, you’re one of those goofy sorts who delight in finding undiscovered musical treasures right in your own backyard don’t miss this…

Music from the Court of the Sun King

Christopher Wilke, theorbo
Friday, April 11th, 7:30 pm
College of Mt. St. Joseph (5701 Delhi Pike, Delhi OH)

Exciting news!

Be sure to listen for Chris on WVXU’s local arts show, “Around Cincinnati” on 91.7 FM Sunday April 6th at 7:00pm.  One segment of the show will be devoted to a discussion with Brian O’Donnell of his forthcoming Mt. St. Joe concert.  Chris will perform live-in-the-studio theorbo selections by Robert de Viseè as well.

In addition, Chris will be the featured guest on WGUC’s “Cincinnati Spotlight” on FM 90.9 on Tuesday, April 8th shortly before 10:00am.  This will also focus on his April 11th concert.

Second, from Dayton:
