Monthly playing sessions are conducted by a professional guest conductor from September through May or June.
Our new season for 2022-2023
Below is the anticipated monthly playing schedule of the upcoming season with dates and conductors.
We will be returning to our usual Zion Lutheran Oakland location (except for 12th night, which will be at Hillside church in El Cerrito, but also expect to be streaming online (with use of Zoom) for an alternative (except for Miyo Aoki, who will be on Zoom only). As you can appreciate, this hybrid version of monthly playing sessions will be subject to adjustment as our season progresses.
September 9 Glen Shannon
October 7 Tish Berlin
November 5 Hanneke van Proosdij
December 2 Miyo Aoki, on Zoom
January 8 Derek Tam
February 3 David Morris
March 3 Shira Kammen
April 1 Greta Haug-Hryciw
May 5 Andy Canepa
June 2 Frances Blaker
All are Friday evenings (7:30pm Pacific time to 9:30pm) except November 5 and April 1, which are Saturday mornings (10:30am to 12:30pm) , and January 8, which is a Sunday afternoon (3:30pm to 5:30). As noted above, we hope to have hybrid meetings at Zion, public health circumstances permitting (with the exception of the Twelfth Night meeting January 8th at Hillside church, as usual).
Music for the monthly playing will be routinely emailed to our membership in advance (as pdf’s). 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.
Save the date for the EBRS Fall Workshop - Oct 10, 2022 - Monday, Columbus/Indigenous Persons Day. Further information will soon be coming. Presently proposed times: Morning session from 10 am – 12:30 am, afternoon from 1 pm – 3:30 pm. Other Special events are in process of planning.
