Host: Gregory
The most popular genre for this meeting was Christmas music with four people playing five Christmas themed pieces. There was also a link back to last month with Gordon playing a Waltz by Amy Beech. And, two performances of the same piece by Handel: the original and an arrangement.
The surprise winning composer was A. Scriabin, with three people playing preludes written by him.
