[Othermindsforum] PZ Works TONIGHT, This Week, and This Month

[Pamela Z]

Here is a little news on the Pamela Z front including an extremely last-minute heads-up about some upcoming Z-related events in the Bay Area and beyond.  I've been remiss about keeping in touch because of an insanely dense schedule of commissions, performances, travel, and composing deadlines, but some of those have resulted in a number of locally (Bay Area) presented works that are all occurring now and soon. 

In brief, I am currently in the midst of a one-month visiting artist residency at Centre College in Danville, KY, which continues until close to the end of this month, however, I am popping back (more than once!) for some Bay Area appearances.  Here's a list:
