h3. Schedule

The “party”:http://www.laymusic.org/party.html is on Sunday starting at 4. Please feel free to drop in before or after anything else you have scheduled. If you’re wondering what to bring, just about anything in the finger food, salad, vegetable or dessert line will probably be appreciated.

We will be having our regular dropin meetings on Tuesdays at 8:45 PM at “my place”:http://www.laymusic.org/directions.html for the next couple of months.

In March or possibly late February, we will switch to being a performing group, to prepare for the “BRS Play the Recorder Month”:http://www.bostonrecordersociety.org/calendar/cal_popup.php?op=view&id=451 event, and the Walk for Hunger on the first Sunday of May.

People are starting to ask me about what we’re playing for these events. I have some ideas, but I’d be happy to hear yours, as well.

h3. Other events

In January, several of our friends will be playing a “concert”:http://www.bostonrecordersociety.org/calendar/cal_popup.php?op=view&id=494 of 17th century English Consort music.

The “Viola da Gamba Society of New England”:http://www.vdgsne.org/ is having a workshop on January 20 at Brandeis that will welcome brass, reed and string instruments, and also recorders that play at 8-foot pitch (tenor or larger). Bonnie has the details.
