Hi Friends, I saw belatedly that my acknowledgements page for the March 7 concert program was left off somewhere during the printing process. Here it is (including the remaining personnel of the KU Chamber choir which were also cut off). To all those who sang, played or otherwise helped with this event, I thank you profusely!

Peace,

Brian N.
