If you'd like to attend a program, I always recommend contacting the host organization. Some require advance registration or tickets.
PROGRAMMERS: My calendar for 2025 is now fully booked.
March and April 2026 are also fully booked
For vocal health -- doctor's orders -- I'm no longer taking bookings for more than one presentation a day (and I'm no longer available on Sundays, with a few very rare exceptions, usually due to extenuating circumstances). Thank you for your understanding
Unless otherwise indicated, locations are in Illinois
