Report on the August 22 meeting

The next meeting of the Cantabile Renaissance Band will take place on Tuesday, August 29, at 7:45 PM at my place.

I don’t know of any reason why we won’t be having our regular drop-in meetings for the next few weeks. The two election days (September 19 and November 7) are the only times in the next few months when I expect anything different.

We may continue to have 6-8 people for a while, so suggestions for five or six part music are welcome. I think there’s enough interest in the Gabrielli we’ve done at the last two meetings that we’ll continue that.

Last meeting

• Byrd Susanna fair
