Schedule
We’ll be continuing our regular dropin meetings on Tuesdays at 7:45 PM at my place.
Next week, September 11, we’ll be doing a special meeting with the complete Dowland Lachrimae. Please bring anyone you think might enjoy doing this. We have lute tablature, if you know a good lutenist or classical guitarist.
Performing
The Boston Wort Processors annual Ciderfest will be on Saturday, October 20, at Carlson Orchards in Harvard, Massachusetts. If people would like to play for it, I don’t think it would be difficult to work up a 45 minute set with some dance music and some drinking songs. I can’t put together a playlist until I know how many people can come, so please let me know before our September 18 meeting if you want to go. I’m not anticipating this disrupting our meeting schedule much — at most we might make the October 16 meeting performers only.
Other events
The first West Gallery Quire workshop of the year will be on Sunday, September 16, from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM. Please note that this in a one-time only deviation from the usual second Sunday of the month meeting. If you’ve given people flyers or sent them email with the September 9 date, please tell them about the change.
The first Boston Recorder Society meeting of the year will be on Sunday, September 23 from 7-9:30 PM. This meeting is free, and you will have a chance to check out a couple of the groups. (If you don’t play recorder, you might still want to check out the Joyful Noise group for all singers and instrumentalists.)
