We had an excellent afternoon at Ottawa Pianos, playing on "Felix", their flagship Yamaha Grand. We welcomed Johnathan, Isabella, and Soukaina to the group. As usual, the diversity was notable, from Bach to Prokofiev, and still some more composers played for the first time. There were a few "love" theme pieces in homage to the day.
Here's what was played:
