The original Kickstarter goal was been met, enabling the project will go forward. Deborah still needs funds to help defray her family's considerable investment in the project, and to allow her to create a first-rate CD from the concert recording. The deadline for Kickstarter pledges has passed (July 21st, 2011), but you may still make donations for Deborah's project using this PayPal button or Secure Credit Card button.
