Music Played at Steinway Gallery on May 27, 2018

We had a very full session at the Steinway Gallery on Sunday, including three four-hands duets! We also had two new members who performed. Welcome. Due the large number of performers, the second round was limited to a small number of members.

Our great thanks to Jennifer Messer at the Steinway Gallery for enabling us to perform on such a magnificent concert grand piano.

There was no clear winner in the composer popularity contest this week with two composers (Scriabin and J.S. Bach) having three performances each.  Two of Bach's performances were in arrangements so we wll give the prize to Scriabin again.  This month also featured a re-match in the Nick vs Brahms contest.  Brahms won handily in the first round but Nick played things to a draw in the second round.  I wonder if there will be another re-match?

Meeting Canncelled on April 15

An inopportune ice storm on April 15 led to dangerous driving conditions (and many downed trees).  The meeting at Luc's has been postponed until February when we hope the weather will be better.

Music Played March 18, 2018

Host: Gared

We welcomed new member Lyndsay (welcome!), and enjoyed some old favorites, a never-heard composer, and unusually, 3 people who played their own compositions!  Many thanks to Gared for hosting us.

Four composers had three performances each.  But, the winner was this odd composer called 'Own Composition', with three performances.  A very creative group of performers at this week's session.
