We had a good turnout at Françoise’s, enjoying a view of the Ottawa River when we were not being pelted by torrential rain. There were an unusual number of ensembles, five duets and two trios, with our first ever duet with a Harmonica. We found out that Jocelyne is also learning to play the violin. There were a number of new composers performed plus many well-known ones, which gave us a very diverse session.
