Hello Tito: 

About a month ago I was approached by an agent in Rio de Janeiro about a
concert in Brazil. To be held in either June or November. Below are the
e-mails/details I received. (snipped)

I quoted $15000 + travel expenses after the first email. They then sent the
second and offered $4000  US for the trio. (clarinet/bass/guitar) I told
them the trio would be $7500 and that we would have to do it in June because
the trio was booked every weekend in November 2007. That's where it ended
when they didn't meet the price.

Just got your promo about your December concert and thought  you might want
to check the agent out. Since are right there, perhaps they might hire you.

Cheers, 
Steve
