Uwe Kind Concert and Workshop: October 24 at 9:30 and 12:30 at Glenbrook South High School in Glenview, IL

Teachers' Workshop: October 25 9-12 at the Goethe-Institut Chicago

Concerts: Because initial interest in the concert was high (thanks to all of you who responded to my initial query last winter; it helped me gauge interest level), we've scheduled two concerts! They will be on Friday, October 24 at Glenbrook South High School in Glenview, IL. The concerts will be at 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Each will last 1-1.5 hours, depending on whether students participate in the concert (more on that below). I don't need you to respond yet to these questions yet. But between now and when school starts up in Fall, please be thinking about the following:
- If you plan to come, how many students and teachers will come with your group?
- Which of the two concerts will you attend?
- Would you like to have your German class prepare an Uwe Kind song and sing it up on stage with him? He gives this option, and those concerts last
closer to an hour and a half.

In early September I will send another reminder to you, and at that point I'll start reserving seats on a first come, first serve basis. Because we've scheduled two concerts, it shouldn't be a problem to accommodate anyone. However, if you know that one of the two concert times will work better for you (perhaps because of distance from Glenview), then you'll probably want to let me know that sooner rather than later, just to make sure you get the preferred concert time. I'd also like to know at that point if you want your kids to learn an Uwe Kind song ahead of time and perform it on stage with him.

Cost: the entrance fee is $18/person. In order to ensure your spots in the auditorium, I'll need you to mail me (c/o AATG Northern Illinois) a check for the number of seats you wish to reserve. This, too, will be in the reminder email I send out in mid-August, along with a date by which I should receive your check (likely that date will be around mid-September).

Teachers' Workshop: on Saturday, October 25, Uwe Kind will give a workshop for German teachers at the Goethe Institut in downtown Chicago. We'll have our usual (optional) breakfast at 8:30, and then Uwe Kind will give his workshop from 9-12:30, with a break midway through. Lunch and a brief business meeting will follow the workshop. I'll send out a program and begin taking registration and payment in September, but I wanted to let you know about that now, in case you want to begin planning your Fall schedule.
