Robert Sherman, nephew of Clara Rockmore, is asking for donations to the nonprofit Nadia Reisenberg / Clara Rockmore Foundation. The foundation has several projects underway, including a new album of previously unreleased music from Clara and Nadia - recorded by Bob Moog in the same sessions that yielded "The Art of the Theremin".
A generous donation of $50 will help ensure you get one of the first copies of the upcoming album. $500 will net you a special treat - original press photos from the early 1940's or flyers from the sisters' 1938 performance together. If you can swing even more, the foundation has a small number of original programs from that concert.
For more information or to make a donation, please visit the foundation website

(Didn't see this before on Peter's site. He must have updated it recently)
Too bad a release of the WQXR performance is on hold...
The pictures are from Howard Mossman and were originally taken by Reid Welch.
Howard has sent Peter much more information, so you might want to bookmark it and check back every so often.
