h3. Schedule

Regular meetings are on Tuesdays at 7:45 PM at “my place”:http://www.laymusic.org/directions.html

We’ll be having a party on June 2, starting at 5 PM, also at my place. It’s potluck, so let me know whether you’re coming, and what you’re planning to bring.

We will not meet on Tuesday, June 12, during the “Boston Early Music Festival”:http://www.bemf.org.

If we want, we can go to the “Wort Processor’s”:http://www.wort.org summer picnic on June 30 in “Freetown”:http://www.wort.org/Directions/sterner.shtml and sing and play some easy music we know well.

h3. Other events

On Sunday, May 20, I’ll be playing at John Tyson’s student recital. It will be from 10 AM until 3 PM or so at Karen Kruskal’s house, 22 Kenwood St. Brookline. The schedule is flexible; it’s likely I’ll be in the afternoon, but if I know you’re coming, I can arrange to play when you’re there. It’s probably worth going to only if you like listening to *lots* of amateur (and not so amateur) recorder playing. I’ll be playing some Chédeville duets with John.

“Convivium Musicum”:http://www.convivium.org/, with Anne Kazlauskas, will be repeating the concert they did last weekend on Saturday and Sunday.

Lots of people we know will be doing things at BEMF:

* “Renaissonics”:http://www.renaissonics.com will be doing a workshop (10-1) and concert (2 PM) on Tuesday, June 12, in Williams Hall at the “New England Conservatory of Music”:http://www.newenglandconservatory.edu/.
* On Thursday, June 14, at 10 AM, Judith Conrad will be playing the music of Cabanilles in the “Paulist Center”:http://www.paulist.org/boston/ Library.
* On Friday, June 15, at 3:45 PM (*not* 3 PM as the “BEMF fringe concert listing”:http://www.bemf.org/pages/06fest/fringe.htm has it), Judith Conrad will play 16th- & 17th-century Gregorian chant-based keyboard music with a labyrinth to walk; music by Cabezon, Lassus & Titelouze in the Paulist Center Auditorium.
