🎵 Notes from the October 18, 2026 meetup

Today's session ran the gamut from traditional to modern. Jocelyne's violin solos were a nice touch, and served as a reminder that we are mostly, but not exclusively, about the piano. The oboe accompaniment of Sachie's piece was possibly a first with this instrument, and we hope not the last.

Here's what was played:

  • Gregory: Bethena, Joplin
  • Mary Lou: October, Tchaikovsky
