Avery,

See my note to Horace about Angela.

Regarding Chris, what an absolute joy with whom to work! He's one of the
most versatile and talented performers today. (Picky about the voicing,
doesn't want any note standing out.)

Is he solo or bringing "From the Top?" For those of you who may not know,
Chris hosts an NPR show that presents classical artists all under the age of
18. Premiered January 2000, has over 200 stations carrying it now. Comes on
here Sundays at 1:00 pm and each one I've heard has been a gem.

Please give Chris my best,

Gina
