A Soirée with Sonatas and Sweets
You are invited to a members-exclusive event!
Join us on Monday, March 1, starting at 6:45 pm for a gathering of our member community. At 7 pm we will begin a brief business meeting where we will share some very positive news. We will conclude with the vote for the slate of 2021-22 Board of Directors (for which a quorum of members is required).
Following the business meeting you will be treated to an exclusive Fireside Performance. This event is supported in part with income from the Mattke Fund.*
Pianist Andy Canepa will play two Beethoven piano sonatas:
No. 7 in D major, Op. 10, No. 3
No. 26 in E♭ major, Op. 81a ("The Farewell")
Our guest musician will share some thoughts about the pieces he will play for us
as part of the extended celebration of the 250th birthday of Ludwig von Beethoven.
This engaging guest will also take some questions at the conclusion of the concert.
Members are invited to choose a complimentary delectable dessert from Lavender Bakery!
