“It’s easy to love on a perfect summer day
When the sky is blue and sunny
It’s not so easy when it’s cold and gray
And there isn’t any heat
And you haven’t any food
And you’re running out of friends and money
It really isn’t fun or funny …”
From Green Golly & the Treasure of Light by Keith Torgan
2008 is disappearing and although 2009 may not be the easiest of beginnings it certainly is a time for love, light and creativity. We wish you all of these things and more. Here’s to the challenge.
Where We’ve Been …
October saw the premiere of Green Golly and her Golden Flute for symphony with the Oakland Civic Orchestra in California. It was wonderful performing with the orchestra for a huge audience of excited children and parents. As always we had a delightful time performing all of the 21 performances throughout the Bay Area.
November and December’s schedule brought us back to New York where we performed and revised our holiday sequel to “Green Golly & Her Golden Flute”, "Green Golly and the Treasure of Light".
Where we’re going …
Come January we'll be on the road again, first to Cleveland, where we’ll appear in the International Performing Arts for Youth Conference aka IPAY. We’ll be Spotlighting our pre-school show "Little Kids Little Songs" to hundreds of presenters who are on the lookout for great programs for children and families. If you’re there you can catch us on Friday January 23rd at 9:45 PM. Our wonderful representative, Alexis, will be in booth number 33. We'll also be on the conference floor of APAP at the Hilton Hotel in NYC from January ninth through the thirteenth. Visit us at the Bumblebee Artists Booth!
Escape from New York …
Hello to three weeks of performances in sunny, warm Florida. Hooray! We’re premiering a special addition of Little Kids Little Songs at the Adrienne Arsht Center (formerly the Miami Performing Arts Center) in Miami on February 7th at 11:00 AM.
We actually have a whole slew of performances in Florida including the premiere of Keith's new solo show for grown-ups, "I Got out of Bed! Now What?" If you happen to be in South Florida for Valentines Day you can see him at the John Knox Village in Pompano Beach. Now don’t be too concerned we’re planning lots of R&R on the beach too!!
…and back again
For those of you planning to stay up north you’ll be able to see Keith twice a month at the NYC Cabaret "Don't Tell Mama" beginning in February. It will be easier than ever to hear Keith's wonderful, witty original songs and stories!! Stay tuned for times and dates.
And since our hearts are there anyway …
March takes us back to San Francisco where we will be recording "Little Kids Little Songs". Randall Horton (Duke Ellington’s arranger for “Black, Brown & Beige) will be playing piano with us and collaborating on the arrangements, and Bob Bralove (who’s worked with both Stevie Wonder and The Grateful Dead) will be co-producing and engineering.
Classical music, cabaret and history…
On Tuesday March 31st at 8 PM the full length version of "Now We Can Sing" will be onstage at the Rockland Jewish Community Center in Nyack, NY. Visit http://www.bumblebeeartists.com/ and click on the Tugboat Music link for a preview of the concert.
What’s New??
Other exciting projects in the works include a new internet television project and online flute lessons with master flutist Barbara Siesel.
^^^^^^
Please feel free to drop us a line or a squiggle or even an idea.
Have a wonderful holiday season and a joyous New Year.
“… when it’s holiday time
There is love in the air
And a feeling of friendship’s abounding.
When it’s holiday time
There is hope everywhere
And the goodness in the hearts
of the people on the earth
is astounding!”
