Fwd: Flute/Whistle for Come From Away

[Bob Midden]

I received this request to play in the pit orchestra for a musical that is based on traditional Irish music somewhat loosely. This part requires using tin whistles in a large number of different keys from low C to high E in addition to flutes in a few different keys and uilleann pipes although you can get by without that instrument, if necessary. It also requires the ability to read musical staff scores, to synchronize your playing with other members of the pit orchestra and to follow closely the direction of the conductor. If you are interested n this role or know someone who is, please contact Set directly at the email address in the message below.

Bob,

Hello! My name is Seth Johnson, and I received your contact information from Stephanie Opfer.

I understand you will be playing in a pit of Come From Away later this year in October. I will be music directing an all-area high school production of Come From Away the month prior, in September, and was wondering if you could lend your talents to my production's pit! 

While there are some specifics that are still being worked out, I can share that there will be nine-to-ten calls with pay being $50 per call (for a total of $450-500 pending our usage of the 10th call). These calls would include a sitzprobe on 9/1, two dress rehearsals on 9/7 and 9/8, five performances from 9/9-9/13, and up to two pit rehearsals that are currently TBD.

If you are interested, please feel free to get back to me either here or at my phone number, (309)267-4232. If you are not available, please also let me know so I can continue my search.

Thank you for your time,

Seth Johnson
