🎡 Notes from November 16 2025 meetup

Even with winter weather following a freezing rain warning, we had a decent turnout at 10,000 Hours Piano Rehearsal Studios. For the first time, as an experiment, we met in the back Chamber Music Studio with two Steinway grand pianos … and were treated to some two piano repertoire.

Here’s what was played:
