🎵 Notes from the March 21, 2021 online and IRL meetup

We had our first ever combined in-person/Zoom session at Ottawa Pianos, performing on a fine Yamaha CFX concert grand for those at the store.  We welcomed new member Michiko.  

The most popular composers were Scriabin (6 pieces) and Chopin (5 pieces) without any prior collaboration, and we heard 2 works by a composer not previously heard: Marjan Mozetich.  

Thanks to Mitchell and Ottawa Pianos for allowing us to use their space while adhering to safety precautions.
