# U.S. Naval Radio Station, Tarlac

The **U.S. Naval Radio Station, Tarlac**, also known as the **U.S. Naval Radio Transmitter Facility, Capas, Tarlac**, was a remote unit of the U.S. Naval Communication Station Philippines (NavComStaPhil), located at 15°21′15″N 120°32′10″E / 15.354114°N 120.536048°E / 15.354114; 120.536048, near the town of Capas, Tarlac Province, Luzon, Republic of the Philippines. The sole purpose of the station was to provide short-wave radio transmission capability for its parent communication station, that is, to be the radio voice for NavComStaPhil. It provided wide-area radio broadcasts, as well as dedicated, point-to-point radio transmissions to individual U.S. Navy ships in the vicinity of the Philippine Islands.

## Manpower

The station was operated and maintained by a combined workforce of U.S. Navy personnel, U.S. Marines, U.S. civilian contractors, and Filipino personnel.

* U.S. Navy: 2 officers, 85 enlisted(1970).
* U.S. Marines: 3-4 enlisted, rotating in from NavComStaPhil (1972).
* U.S. civilian contractors: 2 (1970).
* Filipino employees: 212 (1970).
* K9 security patrol force: 2-3 German Shepherd dogs (1972).

## Base facilities

The station comprised 1,937 acres. The core of its transmission capability was located in two transmitter buildings. The primary building, referred to as "Main Deck", housed a large number of high power, high frequency (HF) transmitters. It also housed microwave radio-relay equipment for reception and distribution of data received from the NavComStaPhil for subsequent short-wave radio transmission. The secondary transmitter building, referred to as "Bull Horn", housed a smaller number of transmitters, but with similar capabilities to those at Main Deck. Additionally, the Bull Horn site held the S-500 transmitter trailer. The S-500, known affectionately as "Big Sam", was a high power, low frequency (LF) transmitter dedicated for fleet broadcast, capable of generating 500 kW of broadcast signal power. Radio transmitters employed at both sites were in the category of high-power output, meaning, they generated radio signal powers in the range from a few kilowatts (kW) to several 10's of kW, but the majority of transmitters operated at either 10 kW or 40 kW. A large number and variety of LF and HF antennas were used at both transmitter sites. These included directional (beam antennas), omnidirectional antennas, and tall antenna towers for dedicated, wide-area broadcast capability.

An extensive infrastructure supported the station. This included a multi-purpose building with barracks, administration offices, mess hall, navy exchange, and recreation room; an enlisted men's club, autonomous power generating facility, water and sewer treatment facilities, helicopter pad, and security posts. Eventually, a swimming pool and tennis court were added.

## Operations

Incoming messages to the station for subsequent radio transmission, were primarily multi-channel teletype data, with occasional voice signals. All incoming data was sent from the NavComStaPhil in San Miguel, and either originated there, or was relayed by them from some other point. The incoming data from San Miguel was relayed by a series of microwave relay sites: first from San Miguel to the Naval Relay Facility at Mt. Santa Rita, then to the Dau relay at Clark AFB, and finally to the radio station at Tarlac. Data assignment to individual transmitters, and pairing with individual antennas, was controlled via a teletype orderwire from San Miguel.

Some of the station's radio transmitters were utilized for wide area radio broadcasts using a single, constant radio frequency, while others provided dedicated radio transmissions, i.e. radio circuits, to individual Navy ships, using directional beam antennas. Transmitters assigned to individual ship circuits were often changed in frequency, as dictated by changing ionospheric conditions and resultant signal fading, or other tactical reasons.

## History

The radio station was built on land which before World War II been a part of Camp O'Donnell a U.S. Military reservation used as a bombing and artillery range. At the onset of World War II, the Philippine Armed Forces were brought under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Armed Forces, and the eastern portion of Camp O'Donnell was designated as a Philippine Army camp. After the surrender of the U.S. and Philippine forces at Bataan in early 1942, the army camp became an impromptu Japanese prisoner of war camp, and, in April 1942, was the final destination of the infamous Bataan Death March. From April 1942 until June 1942, approximately 9,000 U.S. military personnel, and 50,000 Filipino soldiers were interned there; during that time, over 1,500 of the Americans and 20,000 of the Filipinos died at the camp. Eventually, the death toll would climb to 1,565 Americans and 26,000 Filipinos. The cause of the deaths ranged from malnutrition, dysentery, malaria, lack of medical care, and execution. The Japanese Army segregated the Americans on the north side of the camp, and Filipinos on the south side. A large concrete cross monument marked the site of a cemetery for the Americans who died there, and a similar monument marked the Filipino graves. The American cemetery memorial marker has since been relocated to the POW museum at Andersonville, Georgia. Beginning in 1945, the remains of the fallen American prisoners were reinterred at Fort William McKinley, near Manila, or, at the request of next of kin, in cemeteries in the United States.

The station began operation in 1962, assuming radio transmitter responsibilities when U.S. Naval Radio Station Bagobantay was deactivated. The station closed in 1989. Some time later, the northern half of the former station, became a civilian residential area. And, on December 7, 1991, a portion of the southern section of the base was established as the Capas National Shrine, by Philippine President Corazon Aquino.

# List of artists from Brooklyn

Brooklyn is the most populous borough of New York City, New York. Many artists have originated from Brooklyn or have relocated there.

## Brooklyn-based fine artists

### Painters

* Ruth Abrams (1912 – 12 March 1986) – New York School painter who was born in Brooklyn. As a painter, she belonged to the New York School. After her death, a critic from *The New York Times* remarked that she was "a woman unfairly neglected in a macho era." Her papers are held at the Yeshiva University Museum and the Smithsonian Archives of American Art.
* Alexander Brook (July 14, 1898 – February 26, 1980) – American artist and critic who was born in Brooklyn. During his twenties, Brooks painted still lifes and posed figures with vigor and sensuality. He later began to emulate the style of Jules Pascin. From 1924 to 1927 he was the assistant director of Whitney Studio Club. His realist painting was exhibited widely and he won multiple awards. *Georgia Jungle* won the Carnegie Prize at the Carnegie International art exhibition. Unfortunately for Brook, the realist style fell out of favor late in the 1940s.
* Marion Greenwood (April 6, 1909 – August 20, 1970) – painter and engraver who had lived in Brooklyn.
* Breuk Iversen (born July 25, 1964) – lived in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and is the founding member of the art collaborative known as "Offalists", using common refuse as a medium.
* Nell Choate Jones (1879–1981) – artist who had lived in Brooklyn Jones was awarded an honorary doctorate by the State University of New York in 1972 and received the Distinguished Citizen Award from the Brooklyn Museum of Art in 1979. She exhibited regularly across North America in the 1940s and 1950s as well as overseas in France, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Greece, and Japan. Her work can be found in many museums, including the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia and the Morris Museum of Art in Augusta, Georgia.
* Tim Okamura (born 1968) – painter based in Brooklyn Okamura is known for his depiction of African-American and minority subjects in urban settings, and his combination of graffiti and realism. His work has been featured in several major motion pictures and in London's National Portrait Gallery. He was also one of several artists to be shortlisted in 2006 for a proposed portrait of Queen Elizabeth of England.
* Michael Anthony Pegues (born May 11, 1962) – artist and designer, born and raised in Brooklyn. Self-taught, modern-day Fauve, Expressionist as well as Pop artist, contemporary of Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, his work is strongly influenced by Hip Hop and Graffiti.
* David Salle (born September 28, 1952) – painter and leading contemporary figurative artist, Salle helped define postmodern sensibility. His paintings and prints comprise what appear to be randomly juxtaposed images, or images placed on top of one other with deliberately ham-fisted techniques.
* Walter Satterlee (January 18, 1844 – May 28, 1908) – American figure and genre painter who was born in Brooklyn. He was a member of the American Water Color Society and of the New York Etching Club, and was an excellent teacher. Satterlee died in Brooklyn in 1908.
* Susan Sills – drawings and portraits.
* Danny Simmons (born August 17, 1953) – abstract-expressionist painter who was a Brooklyn resident in 2009 Simmons is the co-founder and Chairman of Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation (since 1995), which provides disadvantaged urban youth with arts access and education. Simmons also founded Rush Arts Gallery and soon thereafter converted part of his loft in Brooklyn into the Corridor Gallery. Both galleries provide exhibition opportunities to early and mid-career artists who do not have commercial representation through galleries or private dealers.
* Andrea Zittel (born September 6, 1965) – installation artist who has lived in Brooklyn Zittel produced her first "Living Unit"—an experimental structure intended to reduce everything necessary for living into a simple, compact system—as a means of facilitating basic activities within her 200-square-foot (19 m2) Brooklyn storefront apartment.

# Vimont Lake

The **Vimont Lake** is a freshwater body of the Lac-Ashuapmushuan, Quebec unorganized territory in the northwestern part of the Regional County Municipality (MRC) Le Domaine-du-Roy, in the administrative region of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, in province of Quebec, in Canada. This lake extends almost entirely in the canton of Vimont, except the northern part Rinfret.

Forestry is the main economic activity of the sector. Recreational tourism activities come second.

A forest road serves the eastern part of the lake; road R0210 (North-South direction) serves the western part from the South where it connects to the forest road Route 167 connecting Chibougamau to Saint-Félicien, Quebec. The Canadian National Railway runs along this road.

The surface of Vimont Lake is usually frozen from early November to mid-May, however, safe ice circulation is generally from mid-November to mid-April.

## Geography

Vimont Lake has a length of 9.4 kilometres (5.8 mi), a maximum width of 3.7 kilometres (2.3 mi) and an altitude of 413 metres (1,355 ft). The southern part of the lake includes an island archipelago.

The mouth of Lake Vimont is located at:

The main hydrographic slopes near Lake Vimont are:

Vimont Lake empties into a bay on the west shore where the current flows westward to the southeastern shore of Rubens Lake, which the current flows through on 0.4 kilometres (0.25 mi) West up to the South-East shore of lac Rubens that the current crosses on 1.9 kilometres (1.2 mi) to the North. From there, the current flows over 7.8 kilometres (4.8 mi) first to the southwest, then west to the Pulley Lake which is crossed by the current of the Boisvert River (Normandin River).

From there, the current flows 41.9 kilometres (26.0 mi), first towards the West, then towards the South, until Charron Lake (Normandin River) that the current crosses on 4.3 kilometres (2.7 mi) to its mouth located at the bridge route 167.

From this road bridge, the current flows through “Lac la Blanche” on 7.4 kilometres (4.6 mi), Jordan Lake on 9.8 kilometres (6.1 mi) and Nicabau Lake on 9.7 kilometres (6.0 mi) to the dam at its mouth. From there, the current flows south-east along the Normandin River on 38.7 kilometres (24.0 mi) to the northwestern shore of Ashuapmushuan Lake. Then, the current flows through the Ashuapmushuan River which flows to Saint-Félicien, Quebec on the west shore of Lac Saint-Jean.

## Toponymy

This hydronym is linked to the name of the township of Vimont.

These place names evoke the work of life of the Jesuit priest Barthélemy Vimont (Lisieux, France, 1594 - Vannes, France, 1667). Coming to New France in 1629, he was first assigned as a chaplain to a garrison near Cape Breton in 1629, where he had to stop because of the sinking of Captain Charles Daniel's ship. In 1630 he was recalled to France because of the occupation of Quebec by the Kirke brothers. He returns to Quebec in the company of Jesuit fathers Pierre-Joseph-Marie Chaumonot and Joseph Antoine Poncet de la Rivière, of Marie Guyart said Marie de l'Incarnation and Marie-Madeleine Chauvigny de La Peltrie, August 1, 1639. Superior General of the Jesuits (1639-1645), the father Vimont attends the foundation of Montreal of Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve which he describes in the 1642 relationship.

After a stay in France, from 1645 to 1648, he returned to Québec where he worked there his ministry, as well as in the surrounding parishes until 1659. He left New France for France where he died eight years later.,

The toponym "Lac Vimont" was formalized on December 5, 1968, by the Commission de toponymie du Québec.

# Love & Life, The Album

***Love & Life, The Album*** is Dok2's latest album which was released on February 24, 2012. The first single from the album is **Love & Life**, which features Rado, who is also one of the main producers for the album. This album was released under Dok2's very own independent Korean hip hop label, Illionaire Records, which had a joint formation alongside The Quiett.

What makes this album incredible is the aggressive side to Korean hip hop, which Dok2 portrays himself in. Not just the aggressiveness, but also the delicate artistry of the album and the seriousness of it.

## Production

The album consists of eleven tracks, where nine of them were produced mostly by the young CEO of Illionaire Records, himself, but had many other producers, including R&B and Korean hip hop artists such as Rado & Prima Vista. The album also features many popular Korean hip hop artists, which include Rado, Zion T., Jinbo and Bumkey.

Dok2 has intended to show a different side to him, and has moved away from his "dirty, south" style of rapping, in the compilation. It was available digitally on February 24, 2012, and the compatible disc was released on 28 February 2012, four days later.

## They Love Who? \ Leave Me Alone (Fuck You)

It was revealed that Dok2's album is supposed to portray a softer side to him, but it is not clearly the case, as it is noticeable from the two tracks, **They Love Who?** and **Leave Me Alone (Fuck You)**. These two tracks sound like they contain a lot of arrogance, which suggests to us that he is trying to impress himself more than anyone else and gets a bit of satisfaction from it. This result was achievable due to the fact that there was admirable focus that was maintained. The structure of the two tracks has some sort of consistency and is rather lean. These two tracks portray pivoting characters, from sensitive, in **Leave Me Alone (Fuck You)**, to threatening, in **They Love Who?**, which moves on to portray his honesty.

## Biography

Theodore Schwinden was born in Roosevelt County, Montana, on his family's farm on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation between Wolf Point and Poplar. Schwinden was a valedictorian at his high school. He enlisted in the United States Army and served in both the European and Pacific theaters in World War II. He left the army in 1946. He earned a bachelor's and master's from the University of Montana. He was studying toward a PhD in economics at the University of Minnesota before he had to return to his family farm due to his father's ill health.

## Career

A member of the Democratic Party, Schwinden was elected to the Montana House of Representatives in 1958, defeating Republican incumbent Chris S. Tange to represent Roosevelt County. Schwinden completed two terms in the House but was unsuccessful in his campaign for a third term. He was elected and named to the Legislative Council in 1959. He served as the House minority whip in 1961. In 1965, he was elected president of the Grain Growers Association. In 1969, he was named Commissioner of State Lands by governor Forrest H. Anderson.

# Ángel Torres (businessman)

**Ángel Torres Sánchez** (born 7 May 1952) is a Spanish businessman, owner of Getafe CF since 2002.

## Biography

Born in Recas, province of Toledo, Torres lost his father to a traffic accident when he was 14, and was orphaned at 18. He moved to Getafe in the Community of Madrid and worked as a mechanic. At Kelvinator, a freezer manufacturer, he lost his job while striking as a member of the Workers' Commissions (CCOO); he was also fired from a factory in Fuenlabrada in solidarity with another employee whose service was terminated.

In the 1980s, Torres prospered in construction during a boom in the expansion of Madrid's commuter towns. He sold his interests in the industry in order to buy bars, bingo halls and nightclubs in one of those towns, Getafe. In 2002, the town's mayor, Pedro Castro Vázquez, convinced him to buy the football club Getafe CF.

Upon finishing as runners-up in the 2003–04 Segunda División, Getafe CF achieved promotion to La Liga for the first time, and by 2023–24 had only spent one season back in the Segunda División, in 2016–17. The team reached the Copa del Rey final in 2007 and 2008, and on their European debut in the 2007–08 UEFA Cup, losing on the away goals rule in the last seconds against FC Bayern Munich after a 4–4 draw. Torres reflected that Bayern president Franz Beckenbauer "will remember for the rest of his life where Getafe is". In April 2011, it was widely reported that Torres had sold Getafe CF to the Royal Emirates Group, who had announced such news. He clarified that he had visited the company in Dubai, but only to seek sponsorship.

In December 2004, Torres suggested that his team play in blackface as an anti-racist gesture, after some of his club's fans racially abused FC Barcelona player Samuel Eto'o.

# Euplokamis

***Euplokamis*** is a genus of ctenophores, or comb jellies, belonging to the monotypic family Euplokamididae. It shares the common name **sea gooseberry** with species of the genus Pleurobrachia. After being originally described by Chun (1879), the family *Euplokamididae* was expanded by Mills (1987) due to the discovery of a new species, *Euplokamis dunlapae*. Further research indicated that *Euplokamis* should be identified from Mertensiidae due to the rows of combs and some compression. They may also be distinguished from the genus *Pleurobrachia* due to their more elongated shape. Additionally, various adaptations of *Euplokamis* have been observed such as the use of tentacles for movement/feeding, a complex nervous system, and bioluminescent capabilities. Other characteristics including a defined mesoderm, lack of stinging cells, developmental differences, and symmetry supported the reclassification of these organisms.

## Distribution & Habitat

*Euplokamis* have been found in fossil records dating back to the Cambrian period, part of the Paleozoic Era, and it is estimated that some species may have evolved before this period. Originally, Cnidarians and Ctenophores were classified under the same phyla, Coelenterata. Ctenophore bodies are made up of a gelatin substance, similar to Cnidarians, but the multiple rows of combs present in fossil records are unique to ctenophores. Records of *Euplokamis* sp. indicate they are distributed widely around the world, but are most often found in warm coastal waters. *Euplokamis* prefer marine, or saltwater, environments and are classified as free swimmers, due to their ability to move through the water column. They have been identified in the Mediterranean Sea, the North Pacific, the Gulf of Maine, and off the coast of Sweden. However, since this genus was originally grouped in the family Pleurobrachiidae, there is limited information regarding their actual distribution and habitat.

## Anatomy & Morphology

Ctenophores are divided into two classes based on either the presence(Tentaculata)) or the lack (Nuda) of tentacles. Within each class, there are multiple orders to further distinguish their structures and characteristics. The class Tentaculata contains the following orders: Cydippida, Lobata, and Cestida. The genus *Euplokamis* is part of the class tentaculate, which indicates that tentacles are present. They are also part of the order Cydippida, distinguished by their tentacles and their round body shape. *Euplokamis* tentacles are long, with side branches, and have a sheath allowing them to be retracted inside of the body. The tentacle side branches are known as tentilla, which in the case of *Euplokamis* are held tightly in coils except during the act of prey capture. Further, the widely spaced tentillia droplets allow for organisms to be classified to the genus level and are one of the only examples of striated muscle found in ctenophores.

Additionally, these organisms have bi-radial symmetry with a mouth on their front end and a statocyst, or sense organ, at the other end. The sides of their stomachs are lined with distinct bulbs, shaped like tadpoles, and unlike other well-known jellyfish, *Euplokamis* do not have any nematocytes, known as stinging cells. The mouth is connected to the digestive tract via the pharynx. The digestive system, or gastrovascular cavity, is made up of intricate canals that allow for both digestion and circulation to occur. They also lack an anus but are able to excrete some waste through pores on the adoral end. Typically, *Euplokamis* are small, only growing up to approximately 20 millimeters (mm) in length.

Another distinct feature of this genus is the eight rows of combs present. While they are known as comb plates, they are actually made up of large cilia, which are hair-like structures. These plates are unique because they consist of some of the largest known cilia found on any organism. Additionally, the combs primarily function in movement, allowing some species to move forward and backward. Since their bodies are made of the mesoglea—a translucent, gelatin-like substance—the 8 comb rows can be easily identified. These combs function in movement, due to their large ciliary structures.

## Behaviors & Adaptations

### Tentacles: Movement and Feeding Behavior

*Euplokamis* have long tentacles with branches that are used for feeding and movement. These branches are known as tentilla and are held tightly in coils, forming droplet shapes. The tentilla are usually held in coils but can be uncoiled to aid in movement. Further, these organisms can move their tentilla in slow spontaneous movements or in rapid extensions. According to research, *Euplokamis* are carnivorous, like all other known species of Ctenophores. They are known to feed primarily on rotifers and other small crustaceans: including copepods, amphipods, and some planktonic larvae. To catch prey, they will extend the tentilla and wrap them around copepods. The tentilla are covered in sticky colloblasts, which keep the prey stuck in place. Not only can the tentilla be released at high velocities to quickly capture prey, but they also can be released in a slow and controlled manner, likely to attract prey. Additionally, the cilia that make up the comb plate move by making a stroke in a certain direction. After capturing prey, they can reverse the stroke, or beat, in the other direction on two rows, while the other rows continue to beat in the normal direction. They are then able to push the prey to their mouth in a sweeping motion, and the ciliary reversal causes the organism to rotate, which tangles the prey further into its mouth.

### Nervous System

Despite their simple exterior, research on the nervous system of *Euplokamis* sp. indicates the use of more complex systems, including axons. The use of these axons has allowed some species of *Euplokamis* sp. to swim backward rapidly. The direction of the cilia comb plate may be reversed causing them to move backward. These organisms are unique due to the presence of giant axons in their combs that allow for a rapid escape response. Additionally, *Euplokamis* sp. has an aboral sensory organ, which is bypassed to produce this escape response.

### Bioluminescence

Another adaptation that many ctenophores have developed is bioluminescence, or the ability to produce light. For example, *Euplokamis dunlapae* were found to produce light off the coast of Washington when exposed to stimuli. After physical stimulation, they produced bright flashes of light, consistent with bioluminescence. According to research, bioluminescence in *Euplokamis* sp. is both intrinsic and extrinsic, because light can appear in the comb rows or as bursts of light in the water. Additionally, off the coast of Maine, *Euplokamis* sp. was found to be one of the two brightest species to have bioluminescence. Research suggests that bioluminescence in *Euplokamis* sp. may function as a defense mechanism. The bursts of light were only observed directly in response to a disturbance or stimulation, likely to distract or blind predators when they are sensed. Additionally, some produce light as a warning signal, or to expose nearby predators. The various strategies may impact predator-prey relationships or other the population dynamics in an area.

# Paul Galbraith

**Paul Galbraith** (born 18 March 1964) is a Scottish classical guitarist known for his unique style of playing.

## Biography

Paul Galbraith had his first guitar lessons with Graham Wade, continuing his studies with Gordon Crosskey at the Chethams School for Young Musicians. In 1980, he was a finalist in the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition. At the age of 17, Galbraith won the Silver Medal at the Segovia International Guitar Competition. Andrés Segovia, who was present, called his playing "magnificent." This award helped launch an international career including engagements with some of the finest orchestras in Britain and Europe (Royal Philharmonic, Chamber Orchestra of Europe, BBC Philharmonic, Scottish Symphony Orchestra, English Chamber Orchestra, BBC Scottish Orchestra, Scottish Baroque Orchestra, Ulster Orchestra, Hallé Orchestra and Scottish Chamber Orchestra among them). He toured the U.S. as soloist with the Moscow Chamber Orchestra, and performed in Prague's Dvorák Hall with the National Chamber Orchestra of Chile. His international touring has also brought him to Canada, Spain, Italy, Greece, Norway, Hungary, Brazil, China, India and Iceland.

Galbraith's unique playing position was first revealed at the Edinburgh Festival in 1989. His guitar (designed in collaboration with the late luthier David Rubio) is supported by a metal endpin, similar to that of a cello, that rests on a wooden resonance box. The instrument has two extra strings, in addition to those of a normal six-string guitar, one high (A string) and one low (A string).

Galbraith's CDs on the Delos label are the Bach Lute Suites, Paul Galbraith Plays Haydn (featuring Galbraith's arrangements of four keyboard sonatas), and "In Every Lake the Moon Shines Full"-folk tunes from many countries. Most recently, a CD of arrangements of piano music by Debussy and Ravel. Paul Galbraith's double CD of the Complete Solo Bach Violin Sonatas and Partitas (DE 3232) was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award in the category of Best Solo Instrumental Album. This recording was also chosen as one of the two best CDs of 1998 by Gramophone Magazine, which called it "a landmark in the history of guitar recordings." This recording received a four star rating in Stereo Review, and reached the top 10 on the classical charts in Billboard Magazine.

Galbraith has been featured twice on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" and numerous times on "Performance Today." He made his New York début at the Frick Collection, receiving a rave review in *The New York Times*; a subsequent NYC engagement on Lincoln Center's "Great Performances" series was sold out. Recent and forthcoming North American recitals include NYC, Boston, Washington DC, Los Angeles, San Diego, Atlanta, St. Louis, Albuquerque, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Portland, Eugene, Seattle, Miami, Baltimore, Buffalo, Amherst, Milwaukee, San Antonio, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Cuernavaca, Mexico. In addition, tours of Great Britain, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Hungary, and the Netherlands are among Mr. Galbraith's international activities. During the Bach Year (2000) he was featured artist at the Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Denver and Carmel Bach Festivals.

Recent orchestral engagements in the U.S. include concertos with the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra, Knoxville Symphony, Santa Rosa Symphony and ProMusica Chamber Orchestra, among others. Galbraith and the St. Petersburg String Quartet gave the World Premiere in March 2003 at Stanford University of a new work, "Rhapsody for Guitar and String Quartet," that they co-commissioned from the acclaimed Georgian composer Zurab Nadarejshvili.

Galbraith has lived in Malawi, Greece, London, and, for the last ten years, Brazil. He was a founding member of the Brazilian Guitar Quartet, playing with them until summer of 2003. His principal teacher, since 1983, has been the Greek conductor, pianist and philosopher George Hadjinikos. Galbraith has lived in Brazil with his lutenist wife Celia, and their daughter Luiza since 1996.
