Music played on April 19, 2020

Due to the unique worldwide situation, this was our group’s first online Zoom meeting. It provided us with a unique opportunity to welcome back Liz from England. Liz is co-founder of the Ottawa Piano Group … 10 years ago! She was able to join us from the UK, so it was also an international event, our own version of One World: Together at Home. We struggled a bit with connections and sound quality, but it is amazing that we are able to do this at all.

After the meeting, suggestions for improving future Zoom meetings were developed (see the announcement at the top of the web site)

The most popular composer competition has been suspended until we can resume in-person meetings.
