Host: Anne-Marie
Our first session of the new year went well, which included favourable travelling weather. We welcomed new member Anne-Marie, who kindly hosted at the last minute, allowing us to perform on her Steinway Model M. Everyone was enthusiastic, and we all had prepared two numbers. Seven of the 16 pieces were newish, or not in the “classical” repertoire. Remember that any style and age of music is welcome at our sessions, including your own compositions. We love variety!
