RTP-area local music and culture

[Reese Gibbs <rrgibbs53 AT yahoo.com>]

I meant to tell you, Ross, that we didn't get asked to open for Pieced 
Arrows.  We begged and begged and made promises and did a little nagging.  
The show last night was unspeakably fantastic.  It may have been the 
highlight of my entire life.  I tried to stow away on Fred and Toody's van, 
but alas, it's hard to hide all this woman.

Project Symphony is a non-profit organization started by Ari Picker of
Lost in the Trees which commissions modern classical composers to
write symphonies for charity. The organization's first annual concert
is being performed November 1, 2008 at Hill Hall on the campus of the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The performance will
consist of Ari Picker's first symphony, titled "Symphony No. 1 in C
Minor" as well as a performance by Lost in the Trees as well as Phil
Cook of Megafaun.

Visit ProjectSymphony.org (http://www.projectsymphony.org) to purchase
tickets before the show, as we expect it to sell out before the day
of.

Check the TRK Mix Tape (http://www.trekkyrecords.com/radio.html) to
hear "MVT. II Sketch", a Lost in the Trees song that is also a section
of "Symphony No. 1 in C Minor".
