Other playing opportunities
Open band English country Dance
Jean Monroe writes:
Hope you will let the Renband know that the next Open Band at the
Harvard Sq English Country Dance will be Friday, Oct 11, and will be
led by Ishmael Stefanov-Wagner! Caller will be Barbara Finney. Tunes
will be available as much beforehand as we and the caller can
manage. I’ll send out a detailed email closer to the date, but as
usual there will be an optional-but-valuable workshop/rehearsal from
6:15 – 7:15 and the dance will run 7:30 – 9:30 at the Harvard-Epworth
Church, 1555 Mass Ave Cambridge.

The Early Music page at NE Conservatory (http://necmusic.edu/ce/early-music) says that John Tyson’s Renaissance Ensemble is “NOT OFFERED 2013-2014”, perhaps that page needs an edit?
Lisa, yes, I checked with John and he had requested them to edit that page a week ago. He says they’re usually pretty good about that kind of thing.
In any case, anyone who’s interested should call or email John.
And thank you for posting a better link than the one John gave me.
