Thanks for providing this, Dan. The Colorado Springs Conservatory, a
music prep school that my daughter attended while in high school, has
raised funds every year for the last 3-4 years to present multiple
public performances of "Amahl and the Night Visitors" at Christmas, in
collaboration with the Chamber Orchestra of the Springs. They also
presented "Martin's Lie" a few years ago. Recently, Linda Weise, the
director of the Conservatory, performed in "The Telephone" - I don't
remember whether this was with the Colorado Springs Philharmonic or the
Chamber Orchestra.=20

All great work.
