John Tyson’s student recital takes place this year on June 2 from 1-4
pm at Lindsey Chapel, First Church, Cambridge on Garden St. across
from the Cambridge Common. I’m going to be playing some Holborne with
a group that includes Barney, Ishmael, John, and Miyuki. If you’re
interested in seeing what people who take recorder lessons do, this is
a good opportunity – there will be lots of recorder playing on all
kinds of levels.

Short version: it was a great space to sing in, not as large an audience as we’d have liked, but they seemed to enjoy what we did.
There aren’t as many photographs as from the previous week, since the photographer was performing, but see the video below, and here are some sound clips:

I meant these to go on yesterday’s post, but I put it up without the pictures and then had to spend the rest of the day on other things. So here are the pictures.
The short answer is that everybody had a good time.
Unfortunately, the camera got packed up before the party got
going, so you can’t see the audience and performers staying around
to continue to enjoy themselves, or the glass harmonica party
music provided by our hostess, Vera Meyer.
A longer answer is that the performers agreed that we had done
a lot of good things musically, but had missed a few things that
we wanted to do. And we agreed that we’ve gotten really good at
recovering from mistakes, and we wished we could get a bit better
at not making the mistakes in the first place.
The bottom line is that I was catching myself smiling about it
for most of the next two days.
Come on Sunday, March 25, 2012, to the repeat performance at Gallery 263, 263 Pearl
St., Cambridge, MA. It might be even better than last Sunday.

Here’s the schedule for the next couple of months:
Remember that you should let me know as soon as possible
whether you want to play at the Walk for Hunger. A lot of what
we’re thinking about playing is five part music, and we shouldn’t
work on that unless we’re going to have at least five
performers.
Or more specifically, an announcement of another performance of
the same concert. Vera Meyer is graciously allowing us to perform
Shakespeare’s Neighbors
in her living room, at 3pm on Sunday, March 18. It’s free and
open to the public, and there will be a pot luck supper following
the concert. Please come, and bring all your friends.
The Cantabile Renaissance Band will be performing
“Shakespeare’s neighbors: an evening with Thomas Morley, William
Shakespeare, and others” on Sunday, March 25 at 7pm at the 263
Gallery, 263 Pearl St., Cambridge, MA.
This performance will include the complete Morley Canzonets
to three voyces, interspersed with readings from
Romeo and Juliet, Phillip Sidney, and The
Aminta by Tasso.
For more details, see the concert
webpage.
There’s a flyer you can print and paper your neighborhood with and
give to all your friends.
We are trying to set up other performances of this program,
which I will announce on this list as we finalize the
arrangements. If you have an idea for somewhere West or South of
the central metropolitan Boston area where we could do it, let me know.
