Did you know? This past weekend, MU grad Lindsey Lang - who also took part in Paul Crabb's Bach Collegium Choir at Odyssey many moons ago - won GRAMMY in The Best Choral Performance category for her work in "Life & Breath - Choral Works by Rene Clausen!!" VERY exciting! You can purchase their CDs or MP3's BY CLICKING HERE.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Odyssey has cancelled "Champagne, Chocolates & Chamber Music" scheduled for February 10, 2013. : ( Odyssey appreciates your support VERY much!!! Please do stay tuned for upcoming events, including a celebration of 2013 Plowman Chamber Music Competition & Festival. It promises to be a phenomenal 5-day event; if you cannot catch all, that's OK because every one of those nights will bring something special. Speaking of the event, Plowman Volunteer Coordinator(s) will be soliciting volunteers for the events very soon. Every competition we have asked about 40-50 volunteers to help, and I know this year we hope to recruit about the same number of helpers, including those who can donate food for receptions. More details are forthcoming, and I look forward to working with every one of you this spring! Again, thank you so much for your continuing support. Odyssey or Plowman would not have been possible without your warmth and encouragement. Ayako I am ever so thankful that we have such a wonderful writer in town who is able to bring words to life with the exact same enthusiasm we Odyssey musicians have for music!

Come join us at our next concert, "Baroque Flamenco" - the LARGEST ensemble ever assembled on Odyssey stage, with the full chamber ensemble (4 trumpets, 3 oboes, 2 flutes, timpani and the strings) and the Bach Collegium Choir directed by R. Paul Crabb. I kid you not - you will be THANKFUL to have purchased your ticket early for this concert, where the audience typically triples in number. If you enjoy Odyssey performances, please consider supporting our organization by either making a donation, advertising your business in our programs, or EVEN better, by attending our upcoming Fundraiser on February 10, Sunday at 4pm. This "Cheeky Fun Odyssey Cocktail Party" includes champagne and chocolates GALORE (really) with some finger food too, AND you will be treated to an appetizing private musical performance by Maestro Kirk Trevor of Missouri Symphony Orchestra playing the CELLO. I am excited because this is MY first time hearing him play! Peter and I will also perform Greg Anderson's fiendishly difficult 4-hand piece, "The Blue Danube Fantasy." Witness the choreography Up & Close and find out why this piece is such a Talk of the Town.... See you soon! Ayako Come celebrate the holidays with fellow music lovers at Lenoir for a FREE concert! Peter and Ayako will perform another delightful piano duo program, including Weber's "Invitation to the Dance," Tchaikovsky's beloved "The Nutcracker Suite," Brahms Hungarian Dances Nos 6 & 7 with Compton's C.S. Theme & Variations (because it begins with Liszt's famous Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 but in comical C major...) followed by nostalgic songs by Gershwin and Leroy Anderson's Sleigh Ride - LOADS of fun!
