notes from Fred...

Concerts in the USA:
I have a flexible schedule with general concert availability throughout the calendar year for USA engagements. To find a free concert date, I'll check my concert calendar, as well as my CD / TV production schedule, which is not listed on this website. I can usually confirm a desired concert date within a day of receiving the inquiry.

Please book directly, and make your inquiry by email fred@zarex.com or by telephone: 574. 271-9151, or toll-free in USA/ Canada: 1-800-336-2224.

Concerts outside USA: Since attaining an artist visa to conduct a commercial concert tour in the EU, UK and Australia can be a lengthy and costly procedure these days, I either need to play a series of 10 to 20 concerts in the same region on the same tour in order that the total of all concert fees justify the cost of the visa. Of course, I can always consider playing an occasional concert abroad gratis, that is, in exchange for expenses only. Through January 2011, I prefer to limit my touring to North America, but will consider foreign concerts if the conditions are especially good.

MUSIC COMMISSIONS:
I am happy to receive commissions for organ works as well as for choral works ranging from a cappella to accompaniment with organ and orchestra. Rates are entirely negotiable and depend upon the scope and complexity of the project. Please email me at fred@zarex.com or telephone: 574. 271-9151, or toll-free in USA/ Canada: 1-800-336-2224.
