Friday, June 6, 8:00 p.m. Judith Kay will perform a solo show at The PSALM Salon, 5841 Overbrook Avenue, Philadelphia PA. The PSALM Salon has been called the finest small listening room in Philadelphia. Arrive early for the best seat. (Seating is limited!) Tickets are not available in advance, and are purchased at the door. For more information, visit thepsalm.org.

Saturday, June 7, 8:00 p.m. “Waiting for the Rain” (written by Judith Kay, with lyrics by Cecilia Vore) will be performed as part of a spring concert by the New York City-based vocal ensemble “C4”. The concert will be held at the St Joseph's Church, 404 E. 87th Street (at First Avenue), New York City.

Judith describes “Waiting for the Rain” as a challenging a cappella piece with close, jazzy harmonies and a bossa nova feel, in 7/4 meter. Influenced by the real weather conditions of summer 2002, Cecilia wrote the poetic words around the theme of living through a long dry spell, and the exasperation of waiting for the drought to break.

C4, the world's first Choral Composer/Conductor Collective, (www.c4ensemble.org) is a unique vocal ensemble in New York City dedicated to performing music by living composers. Established in 2005, it is a collaborative project of its singing members, functioning not only as a presenting ensemble but also as an ongoing workshop and recital chorus for emerging composers and conductors, many of whom form the core of the group.

Western Wind Workshop in Ensemble Singing
With the aid of a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, Judith Kay has once again attended the Western Wind Workshop in Ensemble Singing, held at Smith College in Massachusetts. This unique five-day workshop focuses on small ensembles and sightsinging. Together in a medium-size group of other peers (music professors, choral directors and other high-level singers from across the country) Judith's group sightread, worked on and performed about a dozen difficult pieces. Composers ranged from Monteverdi & diLassus to the modern British composer Howells and even Joni Mitchell.
