Dear friends and colleagues,

During the last year and a half, an issue with my eyes has made playing concerts difficult. Therefore, I have resigned from Nexus.

I thank all the percussionists, composers, educators, administrators and friends, worldwide, who have supported Nexus and me during a long, creative career.

It is impossible to adequately express my gratitude for the friendship and music of my colleagues in Nexus. Their willingness to explore any idea has been an inspiration to me for thirty-nine years.

I continue to write music and articles. I also continue to research and develop various interests, including my on-going multi-media presentation, A History of Military Instruments. ­

One of my E-mail addresses remains unchanged

robine@sympatico.ca

This one is new:

robin@robinengelman.com

Thanks to everyone, and I look forward to hearing from you,

Robin
