you’ve always dreamed of right? You KNOW that you

at your chosen profession but haven’t seen enough

have its final performances at the Stone on December 5
with two benefit performance sets, at 8:00pm and
10:00pm, featuring guest soloists John Zorn (alto
saxophone) and Steven Bernstein (trumpet).
The Orchestra is conducted by Karl Berger in his inimitable
style, developed over many years at the legendary
Creative Music Studio. One of the trademarks is Ingrid
Sertso’s uncanny vocalization and poetry.
Karl’s “Music Mind” concept introduces a new approach
and experience of harmonizing improvised sound for
orchestral explorations of original themes or melodies from
the inexhaustible bounty of the world music traditions as
well as lines written by the likes of Don Cherry or Ornette
Coleman.
Performers on Dec. 5 include: John Zorn (alto sax), Steven
Bernstein (slide trumpet), Karl Berger (piano), Ingrid
Sertso, Mossa Bildner (vocals), Frederika Krier, David
Bakridges (violin), Sylvain Leroux, Peter Buettner (flutes),
Ken Ya Kawaguchi (Shakuhachi), Jason Candler (alto
clarinet), Michael Lytle, bass clarinet, Avram Fefer
(soprano sax), Welf Doerr, David Schnug (alto sax),
Stephen Gauci, Yuri Kretzmer (tenor sax ), Bill Ylitalo (alto
flute and baritone sax), Bob Selcoe, Herb Robertson, Brian
Groder (trumpet), Steve Swell (trombone), Harvey Valdes,
Kenny Wessel (guitar), John Ehlis (Mandolin), Hilliard
Greene, David Perrott (bass), John Pietaro (percussions),
Lou Grassi (drums), Philip Foster (odds and ends), Mossa
Bildner (vocals) and surprise guests.
Karl Berger’s Stone Workshop Orchestra will continue
starting in the spring season of 2012, at another great NYC
location. Stay tuned for details.

The Stone is located at the corner of Avenue C and E 2nd
Street.
Tickets are $20 ($10 for students, seniors, musicians, Stone
regulars and CMS supporters).
All proceeds support the CMS Archive Project, the
preservation and re-mastering of over 400 historic CMS
recordings by some of the finest innovators in music, in
collaboration with Columbia University.

from Advisor Ana Jomolca:
Hello folks,
Happy Thanksgiving to all. After flying solo for most of my
career, I finally landed a role with more than two people
in the cast. It’s a smart little play written by Mac Rogers
(Universal Robots) based on the 2003 scandal starring
Illinois Governor George Ryan, the death penalty
moratorium, the Scott Turow’s who capitalized on it and
the Cubana Leo (of West Wing) running around cleaning up
messes. The 14 person cast is stellar and
It’s a bittersweet occasion: After 12 years of providing a
supportive and affordable venue for hundreds of artists,
Manhattan Theater Source will close their doors at 117
MacDougal Street. Have Mercy is our farewell
performance. Every night will be followed by a post-show
celebration of MTS’s honoring of new voices and artists in
all fields. Given the circumstances and that we are a cast
of 14 and that the theater seats 50, tickets will sell out
rather quickly. Tickets are available online or at the box
office. Just click on the date you wish to attend.
Hope you can make it.
Much love and light,
Ana Maria
