🎵 Notes from April 5 2026 meetup

We had a very full afternoon in a new venue, Capital City Keyboards, playing on a Kawai GX-2, an excellent instrument I may add.  In addition to hearing many well known composers, we had performances of works by three new ones, to be added to our ever-growing roster.  Two duets, including one with Flutist Shirley, enhanced the musical experience.
