August 2010:  I have just finished recording a couple of tracks on a Christmas CD by Catherine Morrow (soprano) and Norm Nurmi (piano).  This recording was done in the lovely Tapestry New Opera space in the Distillery District of Toronto. Due to be released sometime in October 2010 the music on this disc looks to be an excellent addition to Christmas!

July 2010:  James Brown and I performed at a brand new concert series along with Catherine Morrow (soprano) and Norm Nurmi (Bass/piano) in beautiful Niagara-on-the-Lake ON at St.Mark's Anglican Church There was a great turn-out and on a very hot July 4th, it was fantastic to have a beautiful air-conditioned church to play in! The acoustics at St.Mark's are marvelous. All in all a beautiful way to spend a summer afternoon in NOTL.  See a few pics uploaded into the gallery under "Concerts".
