Just a few weeks till those concert seasons get rolling. If you run a professional classical ensemble or venue in Georgia, please keep Midday Music on your mailing list. I want to know what you're up to and when, so we can tell our listeners. Send info to middaymusic@gpb.org or Sarah Zaslaw, GPB, 260 14th Street NW, Atlanta GA 30318. Thank you.
