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.

Greetings to all!

This is an invitation to all musicians to opt-in and join us for the evening. We are seating a full orchestra - all strings welcome, wind and brass parts are per the score (doubled) and filled in order of sign up (experienced players please.) Specific wind and brass instrument parts are listed in the opt-in link. Channeling Mr. Kite of Beatles fame - "The band begins at ten past seven, having been several days in preparation, a splendid time is guaranteed for all!"
