Let's put a deadline on setting the rep.
1. let's contact the soloists and get their confirmed commitment and
availability by December 20. Then let's set the program by January
20. Then
let's find available venues and book them by February 20.
then we will design a season brochure and set up the website by April
1, 2003.
then we will start promoting our season from April 30 on.
I know it is low on early music rep. Please suggest pieces.
And let's make a rule, if you don't like a suggestion, you must come up
with an alternate suggestion to replace it.
