The originally scheduled in-person meeting at Steinway Gallery had to be deferred due to the recent covid rollbacks, so the performances were in Zoom format. It was an international event, however, as original co-founder Liz was able to attend from the UK. Pieces by Turina and Rammstein were new to our composers list. Other regularly heard composers rounded out the suite. November marks the 10th anniversary of the Ottawa Piano Group!
