NEXT MPRO MEETING
The orchestra’s next meeting will be
held on Monday, April 6 at 7:00pm.
CONDUCTOR’S
CORNER
Greta Hryciw will again be filling
for Fred Palmer at the next MPRO meeting on April 6th. Here is Greta’s message.
Fred is
still quite ill and has asked me to direct the next MPRO meeting on April 6.
Because there are relatively few rehearsals scheduled for the remainder of the
season, it is important that as many of you as possible can
be present.
All of the selections scheduled for April 6 require keyboard,
which I will pick up from Fred. The Vejvanovsky
requires our 3 double reed players. Please confirm
that you can attend this rehearsal. Please note that these selections call
for sopranino, great bass and contrabass recorders as well as bassoon, english horn and keyboard.
A. Gabrieli: Ricercar del Duodecimo Tuono
Vivaldi: Concerto in C major RV 443
Schmelzer: Fechtschule
Veyvanovsky: Sonata La Posta
Thank
you all for your participation and support,
Greta
Haug-Hryciw
