About This Offer The ArtistShare® Executive Producer, who will be prominently credited on the Chamber Works CD, will truly become a part of this record.  You and a friend will be my VIP guests at a performance of Dawn Upshaw, the Australian Chamber Orchestra and Scott Robinson, Jay Anderson and Frank Kimbrough at their Carnegie/Zankel concert on April 30th, 2012.  Additionally, you should be prepared to develop an addiction for birding, because it’s impossible to go on a Central Park bird walk in May and not be forever changed. It will be a pleasure to get to know you through all of our activities together from live concerts, to birding, our phone calls, and our dinner. 

As an additional keepsake, you will receive an original handwritten page from the score, two signed books by Ted Kooser: "Winter Morning Walks" and "The Poetry Home Repair Manual: Practical Advice for Beginning Poets" and two signed books by Mark Strand:  "Looking for Poetry -- Poems by : Carlos Drummond de Andrade and Rafael Alberti -- Songs from the Quechua"  and his newest book, "Almost Invisible: Poems".  You will, of course, have access to all of the content available in the project.

Starting now and leading up to the recording, I'll be sharing the creative process of bringing the final work to life. It will arrive via written journals, streamed audio and video, and photo galleries when you login to your account. 

I'm looking forward to the birth of this new music that will ultimately be the collaboration of all the remarkable people I'll be surrounded by. As an ArtistShare® Executive Producer, you are the single most significant contributor to this recording. Gratitude won’t describe it! Knowing that you're contributing in such a significant way will make me shoot for the moon. I hope you'll consider taking this journey with us.
