Subject: Eithne at AAAL

 
Our team has a copy of what is arguably the only well-known Irish-language
opera, Eithne.

As it has gone out of copyright, we are working to crowdsource production of a
basic audio version using synthesizer and voice. The audio work will be
creative-commons licensed, with the goal of creating a phonetic example for
future full productions. 

I will be at the joint AAAL/ACLA/CAAL conference in Toronto later this month
with my wife. If anyone has interest in this project -- either for
participation or study -- and will be in the city, please shoot me a note
off-list about meeting up for lunch. If lots of people contact me, I will
close the loop and let the list know about details. 

Apologies if this is off-topic for this list: I welcome suggestions for other
venues. 

Best,

Patrick Maynard
