Is this something you are putting together personally?

I'll try to have a decent piece to send you, I hope I can find the time to write one.

I've submitted already, but I am passing your facebook page along to some people I know who might be interested so it would help to have some more information.

Is this a University of Texas event, private, corporate, etc. And what sort of names are attached to it (other than the pianist nobody else is mentioned), who is the director, etc.

This is seperate from  a university event. I am the director, did all the fund-raising, etc. The pianist is a professor from the university, and the university did allow me to use their space. Otherwise, it is the first year of a festival I've spent the pass year planning and creating. The facebook page, under "about," has more information about the goals of this festival. I'm hoping to turn it into a yearly event.

Out of curiosity, I just checked the link at the top for results:

The works selected to be performed by John Solomons are the following:

Luna Suspira - Francisco Del Pino
Toccata and Hymns - Jaap Cramer
Actions & Resonances - Alexander E. Hamilton

The three works above will be performed along side the works of Nikolas Sideris, Scott Miller, Ian Tan, and Paul Poston on July 13th, 2013 at The University of Texas at Arlington.

Grats to the YCers on the list :)
