Schedule
We meet on Tuesdays at 7:45 pm, at 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA. Let me know if you want to come.
Our current warmup piece is Morley’s “It was a lover and his lass”. If you’re coming, also let me know if you need me to print it for you.
We will not meet on Tuesday, June 10, the week of the Boston Early Music Festival.
BEMF
I’ve been saying, “We may organize a field trip to one or more of the concerts that week [of BEMF].” So far nobody’s done anything about that. I have gotten as far as buying my own tickets for the events I want to attend for sure. Several of these are for 10:30 concerts, which don’t have assigned seats, so if we want to go to those together, we just have to organize meeting up and going in together, or even just waving and sitting in some kind of proximity with no organization at all. So those are:
- Monday, Jordan Hall, Aaron Sheehan and Paul Odette
- Tuesday, Jordan Hall, Pacifica MusicWorks
- Wednesday, Emmanuel Church, English Cornet and Sackbut Ensemble
- Friday, Emmanuel Church, Concerto Romano
- Saturday, Jordan Hall, BEMF Chamber Ensemble and Friends
I don’t know how many of the fringe events I’ll get to, but I recommend:
- Wednesday, 2pm, Judith Conrad, clavichord
- Wednesday, 1pm and Saturday, 1pm, Hesperus and Renaissonics, Improv jam
- Friday, 3:30pm, In Stile Moderno
We can discuss the earlier concerts and other events like the exhibition and masterclasses on Tuesday night, if people want to be organized about those. Otherwise, we’ll probably all be running into each other all week and maybe managing to find time to go have a drink.
