Monthly playing sessions are conducted by a professional guest conductor from September through May or June.
Concluding our season for 2022-2023
We returned to our usual Zion Lutheran Oakland location for normal, monthly sessions, but also expect to be streaming online (with use of Zoom) for an alternative.
June 2 is our final playing session (which was to be with Frances Blaker. However, here is a message from our President, Susan Jaffe):
"Hi all, there will be a change of conductors on Friday because Francis Blaker has come down with Covid. Glen Shannon will conduct in her absence and we will have a fine time under his baton. We wish Francis a speedy recovery."
Music for the monthly playing will be routinely emailed to our membership in advance (as pdf’s). Please print out the music to bring to the session (or to use at home if joining by Zoom). Please join the meeting a bit early if you can to enjoy a little socializing and to ensure that you get admitted before the music starts. Members will also receive, around the end of the month, an email including the Zoom-link and password for the meeting.
We will be requiring at-home Covid testing the day of the playing, and if possible, bring your NEGATIVE test to the event in a zipped baggie, or a date-stamped photo otherwise. Of course, positive tests STAY HOME, as well as if you have symptoms of any illness.
