Informal Recitals

 

We invite all to join us no matter what level you are on. We would benefit from your presence, whether you choose to play anything or not.

 

________________

 

This year, in addition to playing repertoire, we would like to encourage the playing of hymns. If you play your own arrangements of hymns for preludes and postludes—specifically arrangements that are not written out but played from the hymn book--please consider coming and sharing them with us.

 

Please be prepared to either bring copies of instructions or to explain what you do on each line or verse or how you put several hymns together. If you haven’t ventured to do that yet, we invite you

to come and get some ideas!

 

Our usual evening is the third Friday of each month. If you would like to volunteer your organ or your chapel for these events, please contact Ruth Ann Hay, who coordinates the informals. Her e-mail is on the front page of this newsletter. If you would like to participate, but the third Friday of the month doesn’t work for you, please contact Ruth Ann, as well. If there is enough response we can make adjustments.

 

We look forward to seeing each one of you this year as we learn and grow together.
