Program
As a first step back toward normality, we had an in-person outdoor meeting on Sunday, June 6, in Hopewell Boroough. For those who could not be there in person, our moderator, Gad Berger presented a one-way Zoom “broadcast” of the on-site performances.

Our theme for this meeting is Togetherness: duos or ensembles (if anyone has been able to get close enough with others to practice), songs of love and romance, or any other music about bringing people together.
The cost of using Zoom in June is covered by a generous contribution from Valerie Nelson in loving memory of Hilda Samuel, her grandmother, who was a silent movie pianist in Brooklyn.
