Background

I am still using Sibelius 3, with which I have done professional work for Laureate Press. I'm also available for translation from French or German into English. My most recent gig, for a Corporate Council magazine reporter, was some Süddeutsche Zeitung reporting on the shocking pharmacological tests in Kano and resulting lawsuits, but I'm most at home with musicological jargon.

Here's a blurb on my main line of work, updated May 23 2011:

Richard Mix (Christus) appears with over a dozen Bay Area opera companies singing a repertoire that embraces Wagner and Monteverdi as well as Scelsi and Stockhausen. A former cellist, he made his singing debut as Truelove in Berkeley Contemporary Opera's 1992 production of The Rake's Progress and went on to the Darmstaeter Sommerferienkurse für neue Musik, to which he was re-invited with the Patenring Award in 1994 and 1996. West coast premieres range from Arthur in Maxwell Davis' The Lighthouse to C.P.E. Bach’s 1789 Matthaeuspassion. He is a cantor at St. David of Wales Church in Richmond where he conducts the annual period-orchestra Messiah sing-along (Dec. 18, 2011).
