MORE ON THE REVELERS

My father sang with The Revelers quartet in the late 1920s.

As you may recall, back in 2015 I was contacted by Craig Phillips, who was doing his doctoral dissertation on male quartets of the 1920s. (See my post from 7/19/15.) We have been in touch over the years, and I am thrilled to report that there will be a presentation of "The Revelers Project" in  New York City, at the National Opera Center on July 11th.  For those of us who can't make it to NYC, the concert will be live streamed at 5:30 on that date, and here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/user/NatOperaCenterLIVE

Craig has also gotten some nice local press (out in Oregon, where he is a professor at Oregon University).  Here are some links:
