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.
