Music played on March 17, 2019

Host: Gregory

There was a full house on Sunday, enjoying a sunny but cold St. Patrick’s Day.  Four of the pieces had an Irish theme or composer, in honor of the day.  As is often the case, pieces ranged from modern to Baroque.

There was not clear winner of the composer competition: Bach and Beethoven both had two pieces played while Scirabin only had one :-).  So, in honour of St., Patrick's day, we will extend the composer prize and award it to Irish music in its many forms.
