THE MUSIC WHIRL AROUND THE NATION
Surf both coasts and some in between to catch recent reports on live performances of serious music and other topics. Our consortium  partners include:

            Our site artssf.com is about to embark on its eighth season of Bay Area live-concert reviews, with an emphasis on modern creativity. We average over 100 reviews per year on this web ‘zine which I edit, for which I am one of a half-dozen regular writers. Unlike some other web ‘zines, we are timely; we put our reviews on line the next day, without waiting till the following week. In addition to serious music, we also feature dance, theater, and books, all with a Northern Californian perspective, with critic/collaborators in various specialties.

          But we are more than local. The site is also linked up to several other independent and free music sites around the country, just a click away, thanks to our new consortium of arts-review sites, among them Classical Voice of North Carolina, Mary Ellyn Hutton’s MusicInCincinnati.com, and (imminently) ex-MCANA President Robert Commanday’s San Francisco Classical Voice. In addition, we get regular references on www.TheColumnists.com out of the Pacific Northwest via our poetry postings there.

          Eventually we hope to have a network spanning North America’s arts capitals. Today, Berkeley! Tomorrow, (maybe) the world!
