🎵 Notes from February 1 2026 meetup

We had an excellent session today at Francoise's, on a rare sunny day this winter. We welcomed new member Tony and cellist Priscilla.  Among the many diverse pieces was a Piano-Violin-Cello trio, our first one since 2014, and we hope there are more.  One of these days we could have a mini-orchestra, and we need a brass player! So please contact all your horn-playing friends.
