While we have truly enjoyed hosting the Ottawa Piano Group over the past 10 years, changes to our programming and difficulty in floor management unfortunately mean that we will need to take a pause from hosting OPG events in their current format next year.
This is not to say that the pianos or our spaces are no longer accessible to OPG members. You are all warmly invited to join our regular in-house Adult Music Sharing events at Steinway, held on the second Thursday morning of each month from 10:30 a.m. to noon starting in September, and running through until June.
We are appreciative of the many wonderful years of music-making, community, and friendship that OPG has brought to Ottawa, and we look forward to continuing to work with you.
