šŸŽµ Notes from March 18, 2023 meetup

We had nearly a full house at Steinway Gallery today, with over 20 pieces performed, eight by J. S. Bach.  We welcomed new member Kunhwa, who also introduced us to composer Leos Janicek. Composers Vladimir Deshevov and Hildegard von Bingen were also new to us.  Two of the pieces, by strange coincidence, included train sounds with a crash at the end!
