Greetings everyone!
With this most incredible year winding down, I felt it was a good time to
just briefly express my sincere gratitude and
appreciation to all of you. Your presence, letters and personal words of
support mean so much and have touched me
more than you will ever know. At this time, I am still in the midst of
finishing up several things, including finalizing the
DVD for SAGA - so I will be back again at the end of the year to talk
more about the tour and what my "retirement"
means to me.
As I mentioned at the beginning of the year, I have decided to step down
from my role as musician for SAGA and will try
to spend more time with my family. Having said that, I am not retiring
from music and will continue to participate in
various projects and events as they come up. As some of you are familiar
with my freelance projects, you know that I
am always open to trying new things.
Although my personal life is a huge factor in my scheduling decisions, a
new project was offered to me in recent days
that was just too worthwhile to pass up. Despite the timing of the event
(right after baby Seren is expected to be born),
I felt that this latest offer was too important to refuse. My only wish
is that this project was more universal, as I would
have preferred that everyone have access to this amazing event. As it
stands, this special event is being held in Germany
and makes it a challenge to attend for many of you. It is my hope that
those of you that can attend, will do so, as it is for
a good cause.
I am therefore very proud to be invited to participate in the annual
ORSO-Rock-Symphony in Freiburg, Germany, under
the baton of the exciting founder and conductor, Wolfgang Roese. So, here
www.orso.org is
the link in German and an
English explanation here
www.orso.org/100.0.html.... mind you, I've been warned that
tickets sell out immediately so
don't be late! I hope that this event will be just one of many
opportunities for me to pursue my love of music, while being
of service to others. For those of you in other parts of the globe, I
will do my very best to get invited to your neck of the
woods!
In the meantime, my family and I would like to wish all of you our
warmest wishes for a wonderful holiday season.
Very truly yours,
Michael Sadler |
