Hi Bill:
Thanks so much for your interest in my many endeavors. I have seen
your site, and it's great to see someone catalogue the accomplishments
and efforts of musicians of color.
Sorry for the delay. I've been doing some traveling, and I'm just now back in Philadelphia.
I do not have my own personal website, and our Project 440 website is
a bit out dated. We are working on a NUMBER of pretty large
initiatives that we hope to announce to the world over the coming
months. In all honesty, our FB page will have our most current
information. It is the plan that the website will be overhauled in the
next month or two.
As far as my "extra curricular" bass and nonprofit activities, there
are a good number, and I've never tried to keep track of them all. For
the orchestra's schedule, you can simply visit the Philadelphia
Orchestra's website at philorch.org.
I have three solo engagements next year: Two performances with the
Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia at the Perelman Theatre at Verizon
Hall of the Bottesini Bass Concerto, two performances with the Richmond
Symphony of a concerto written about me and for me (first premiered in
Grand Rapids in 2008), and the Main Line Symphony Orchestra in March
(another Bottesini). Performances don't begin until January. If you
google them, you should be able to find everything.
I have the Charlottesville coming up at the end of the month, and then I just have my regular orchestra schedule.
Feel free to check in for any updates on my performance schedule or nonprofit activities; I do hope to have updates very soon.
Thanks again for your interest.
Sincerely
Joseph Conyers
Assistant Principal Bass, The Philadelphia Orchestra
Executive Director, Project 440
