Stone Soup 

 Stone Soup
<http://www.voxnovus.com/img/Stone_Soup_100_Composers_Voice_Celebration.jpg>


For over a decade Vox Novus and Composer's Voice has presented the most
electrifying contemporary music of living composers and musicians. 

Now we are at our 100th concert. 

COME JOIN US AND BE PART OF THE PARTY! 

To celebrate our 100th, we are throwing a performance party gala called
"Stone Soup" with a goal to enjoy an extravaganza presenting the greatest
number of composers, musicians, ensembles, and performers that we can
possibly showcase at one time with general revelry. 

Why Stone Soup? 

The story of "Stone Soup" unfolds as hungry travelers come to a town in
search of food. However, a famine has struck the town's people and they have
no food to spare. The travelers boil a pot of water containing a large
stone, proclaiming it to be a delicious "stone" soup if only they could
locate a special garnish. The inquisitive villagers eventually contribute
vegetables, seasonings, and meat to make a nourishing meal that feeds
everyone. 

The special ingredient is community! 

Using the parable of "Stone Soup", we hope to pool our resources to create a
musical soup that can feed us all. 

Here's why. 

Composer's Voice wants to evolve our series to compensate performers for the
2014 season. 

We can do this if everyone adds a little. 

What will you add to the soup? 

Every little bit helps and it doesn't have to be with cash. (but we could
sure use it!) 

COME JOIN US! See what we are all about and listen to some great music!
Composer's Voice is presented twice a month and is free!

SPREAD THE WORD! Post to facebook, tweet, text, email, or just talk about
Vox Novus, Composer's Voice, and Fifteen Minutes of Fame to your friends,
family, and colleagues. The great thing about Vox Novus projects is a little
goes a long way. If everyone tweeted or commented on facebook that would
already be in the thousands. That would help! 

DONATE a little to the cause! $1, $3, $5, $10 (if everyone who read this
donated $3 we would be completely funded!)

For eight years, Ernestine Pringler worked for Iowa World Airways as a
flight attendant. While the job was enjoyable, Ernestine secretly yearned to
play timpani in the Panzerville Orbital Orchestra. She even took to
smuggling a travel-sized kettledrum aboard the aircraft wherever she flew.
And when she wasn't busy collecting motion discomfort bags, she'd hide in
the little galley and practice, practice, practice. Eventually, the
incessant pounding compromised the integrity of some fuselage welds, and the
airplane broke apart as it was flying into Panzerville one day. Ernestine
was delighted to discover that her kettledrum, when inverted, made a fine
parachute, and she landed unharmed. (The fate of the passengers is another
story.) Her escape from certain disaster prompted the airport superintendent
to hire her as an air traffic controller, where she found that her
kettledrum made a dandy table on which to rest her clipboard, affording her
even more opportunities to practice, practice, practice.
