Greetings Morihiko

We are currently in Illinois at the Marion PAC and Sheridan Zuther and the members of Five By Design are anxious to work with you again and share in some sushi. Send an email. Congrats on your new position with the SC Phil. We recommended you to Rhonda years ago. I guess networking works!!

Thank you for giving us a wonderful, educational, and diverse musical season. Every concert was a revelation. Your joining the orchestra has been a wonderful addition to arts and entertainment in the Capitol City

Hi, MN! As you've refreshed your website since tax day, I thought it a good time to sign your Guestbook as myself! All the best, as always.

I hope you are well and that this e-mail reaches you personally. I am trying to update my orchestra database and I don't think I've sent materials to this orchestra in a while. The main question I pose annually is whether you are doing any choral or solo vocal programs. I have superb singers (ranging from young American talent to Grammy winners) and would love an opportunity to bring some of them to you.

Please be so kind as to let me know what you're programming in 9-10 that might need singers (and when)--if you also want to give me budget guidelines that is good, too (especially in this day and age) so I know to only suggests singers who are viable.

I also work for a handful of excellent instrumentalists, including the great pianist James Tocco (known especially for his traversals of American masterworks by Corigliano, Barber, Copland, Bernstein), Austrian pianist Stefan Vladar (invited to do two concerts with Louis Langree and a recital as part of next summer's "Mostly Mozart" here in New York... www.stefanvladar.com) and violinist Juliette Kang, who took the top prizes in both the Menuhin and Indianapolis International Competitions.

My contact information is below. I would really appreciate a response from you or the person at the orchestra with whom agents discuss artists and repertoire.

Warmest regards and thanks,

Hello Morihiko,

We are very pleased to have you in Columbia directing our great symphony orchestra. We hope you will favor us by attending the Columbia Midtown SDA Church.
