Playing Opportunities

Two of the organizations that support amateur playing and
singing in the Boston area are starting their 2018-2019 seasons
this Sunday (September 16):

• The West
  Gallery Quire will be meeting at 2pm at Newton Highlands Congregational
  Church. In addition to being friendly to all melody
  instruments, it’s also the best place around here to get the
  experience of singing with a serpent.

  Recorder Society will be meeting at 6:30pm at Lesley
  University. They welcome recorders, early flutes and
  strings in their regular groups, and have been hosting a very
  good early loud winds group. If you haven’t been before, your
  first meeting is free.

In Stile Moderno
will be playing on Saturday, September 22, at 7:30 pm, at the
Cambridge Friends Meeting House, 3 Longfellow Park in Cambridge.
