News from North Carolina

by Joanna Carey, Durham, North Carolina

Playing my lyre is a solo affair here in North Carolina, but I continue to work with it in a number of settings.  Since moving to North Carolina, I have been facilitating a reading for the Dead study group in my home.  I always play the lyre at the beginning and at the end.  I also play for all festivals within the life of the anthroposophical branch here.  And, I accompany poets and others when they give readings and such.  I'm hoping to offer more playing through Hospice and hopefully through the hospitals very soon.  I continue my research on the planetary scales and also play and orchestrate the Madonna Sequence each winter.  I'm grateful to have these opportunities to play.
