From Nick Demos -
You are cordially invited to the first neoPhonia New Music Ensemble concert of the 2007/08 season.
We take a look at all those mundane and seemingly unimportant moments in life: an unnoticed street performer, the smell of rain, a typical day in the life of a music school as well as the act of breathing and dancing. In the hands of skilled composers, these moments are revealed as extraordinary. Join us as we reveal the Extraordinary Ordinary... on the next neoPhonia concert.
The concert takes place at on Tuesday, October 9 at 7:30 PM in the Kopleff Recital Hall on the campus of Georgia State University in lovely downtown Atlanta and is, of course, FREE and open to the public.

Looking forward to the show!
Yes, I am also too far away to attend - my own premiere! It's sad but kind of cool at the same time, actually...
I would like to reiterate that there is always free food at these functions, and the reception is always a great place to mingle. I think most of the composers on this program are from elsewhere, but especially the "local composer" nights are good. If anyone there talks to a composer we don't know about, please mention this blog and Myspace page. If more people get involved, Atlanta can eventually have an actual "scene."
