2007 Season
I have good news and bad news. The bad news for us is there will be no Appalachian Christmas Quartet performances this season. The good news for ACQ is they get the Christmas season off for the first time in 10 years. Michael made this decision with mixed emotions. While the trip home to Wichita and getting to see all of us will be missed, they will certainly enjoy a more relaxed Christmas season (although I'm going to make the safe assumption that they'll still be plenty busy). Michael did say they still plan on coming back next year, and wishes you all a Blessed Holiday season!

2005 Season
The 2005 season is coming together. Click here for current dates.

Here's the latest news from Michael...

"I just wanted to take a minute to let you all know that I recently received an award and acknowledgement from ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) for the recent compositions that have been published. Last year (2004) I was fortunate enough to have 17 original compositions released by various publishers. My assumption is that must have generated enough hype to merit this ASCAP award for composition in 2005.

I am also happy to let you know that this year I have already had a publisher commit to 8 more of my compositions! Who knows, maybe I have a shot to win this award next year too? Jeanne Anne and I have our fingers crossed."
