🎵 Notes from April 7 2024 meetup

We welcomed new members Dennis and Paul at the home of Françoise.  There was a full house in a great setting, playing on a “Red Pops” Steinway Piano.  While we aren’t sure what brought out one of our largest if not the largest crowd, all of us enjoyed the variety of music from award winning contemporary film music to Bach.  Two Icelandic composers were performed, and four duets rounded out the afternoon.
