Wonderful concert "Resonance" tonight by the Camerata Singers and guests Galileo Chamber Choir. Also, the launch of inhale/exhale, an album of choral music by Canadian composers. My poem Love is featured as the text of the last piece on the album, by composer Ben Sigerson. I can't wait to listen!

Tonight at Paul O Regan Hall, such a fascinating look back at the history of art spaces in Halifax... and a bleak view of the present and future. Art needs a home too.

If anyone who can pick it up would like this drawing in chalk pastel and oil pastel on brown paper, called Darkness Descending and made after the presidential election of 2016, let me know. it's pretty huge, bigger than 4 feet w x 3 1/2 feet high. I can't promise it but wondering who might like it.
