My name is Frank Horvat.  I am a pianist, composer, and teacher from Toronto. I would like to invite you to the Regina stop of the Green Keys Tour on Saturday, October 2, 7:30PM, at Westminster United Church, 3025 13th Avenue. Admission is free.

This family-friendly concert is one of 50+ in a yearlong cross-Canada tour promoting eco-sustainability. All the piano music performed is my original compositions and improvisations. It's a mix of classical and popular styles - from Liszt to Satie to Philip Glass. The highlight of the concert is the performance of my composition, "Earth Hour" - a continuous 1-hour piano piece inspired by, and performed in the dark.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of my new CD, "A Little Dark Music", goes to the World Wildlife Fund - CDs available online and at the show. I am fortunate to have the support of sustainable enterprises like Bullfrog Power, Regina Geothermal and Solar, and Wingate by Wyndham Regina Hotel sponsoring this event. Please visit www.frankhorvat.com/performance/tour/regina.html where you can find out all the info about this concert.

My tour is a grass-roots movement and a labour of love. I am greatly relying on people like you to help spread the word about the Green Keys Tour:

1. Please forward this email to anyone you know that might be interested in attending.
2. Join the Facebook fan page - www.frankhorvat.com/facebook
3. Post the concert poster. Downloadable here: www.frankhorvat.com/performance/tour/poster/Regina_TGKTPoster.pdf

As part of my visit to Saskatchewan, I will also be performing in Saskatoon on Oct 1. You can view a list of all the places I'll be visiting across Canada at www.frankhorvat.com/tour.

I hope to see you on October 2!
Thank you, Frank.
