COMMUNITY NIGHTS
Join us for a casual evening reading chamber music and connecting with similarly interested musicians. We gather together for an open read of one or two pieces of music, available for download here a few weeks in advance of the event. This is the perfect opportunity to meet other musicians to form chamber ensembles, and great for musicians who are too busy to commit to weekly rehearsals for an entire set, yet still want the opportunity to enjoy playing with other musicians once in a while. $10 suggested donation to help us pay for the community room.
INTERESTED? EMAIL vik@sfcivicmusic.org for more information.

SMALL ENSEMBLE WORKSHOP - ALL INSTRUMENTS
A casual series of evenings for musicians to meet, play and explore the classical repertoire written for small ensembles from duets, trios and quartets to chamber orchestra. We'll do this through group reads, individual ensemble forming and coaching. The workshop is open to all instruments with repertoire determined by the mix of instruments that sign up with ensembles continuously forming, so please opt-in. In addition to reading new pieces, we'll work up a set of repertoire for a Community Night recital on December 15. Whether you play with us for one evening or all evenings this season, bring your instrument on December 15 so we can seat the biggest, baddest, most complete chamber orchestra ever!
Dates: 10/6, 10/20, 11/3, 11/17, 12/1 & 12/15.
