I've been home about a week now. I promised to write an overview... I still feel this project is blessed, and picture the studio in SlovakRadio Hall that has our recording sessions on the computer as a little bundle of light. Emil and Hubert will edit all the recorded takes and insert Carol Potter's narration into a CD for us to approve in about two months, and the process will continue. We

We did it! We recorded all three pieces, "Shacharit," "Ahavah," and "Like Streams in the Desert." You're probably thinking, of course you did--isn't that why you went to Slovakia?? Well, yes, but like everything in life, there were some suprises. You already know I got sick with a major cold on Monday. It wasn't a great feeling, but at least I didn't have to sing, and with enough food and

Brochure for the concert Timi, Meira, Michael, Jennifer, Stephanie, Kirk Jennifer and Stephanie That is me, Timi, now. I am writing my first impressions after the concert. It was simply AMAZING! Standing ovations and both music and musicians were more than worth of it. Listening to Ahavah you could like taste different aspects of love between G-d and people. The first part was like looking at

Hi everyone. I'm glad you got to meet Timi, my wonderful publicist and now my friend here in Bratislava. She really saved me yesterday, bringing me food from the vegetarian restaurant and some cold remedies that really helped. Because of her, I was able to make it through the recording sessions yesterday and felt better foday. We finished recordng Ahavah! I think it will sound great. Jennifer

Today was again an extremely busy day with recording. Meira is much, much better than yesterday. She is still in the Slovak Radio with the orchestra. We have a good news for everyone who would like to join us at the concert. It will be a life broadcast and you can listen to from the Slovak Radio or via website www.slovakradio.sk. When you open the website, search "devin" and there look at the

You have already seen me in one of the pictures from Sunday, my name is Timotea Vrablova. I am writing on behalf of Meira as her publicist of the concert in Bratislava. Very soon you find that I am not a native English speaker so be patient with me, please. Meira sends you warm greetings. She is doing very well. Her days are extremely busy. Yesterday was a difficult day. She had a rehearsal

Today was Shabbat. I had a lovely time with Rabbi Baruch Myers and his wife Chani and their family and guests. Jennifer and I joined them for dinner last night I met Laura Berg there, who works in the cultural office of the US Embassy, and she will help get the word out about the concert to their consituency. Timi had contacted the Embassy, but Laura hadn't heard anything about the concert yet...

I'm at the internet cafe near my hotel. It was a long trip, but got here safe and sound. Very exciting. Also tired. Kirk's driver Peter met me at the airport in Vienna. Scenic drive to Bratislava. Maria, Kirk's wife, met me at the hotel and took me to the Reduta, the main concert hall, where the Phillharmonic Choir rehearses. I worked with the chorus for 2 hours this afternoon. The

It's one day before what feels like the most important trip of my life (at least until now). For over two years, I've been planning and praying for this recording project of "Shacharit (interpreting the Sabbath morning service)," "Ahavah (Love)" and "Like Streams in the Desert." (There's a section of my home page with program notes about these compositions, text translations, bios of the
