The Emile Benoit class will be performing at The Rooms for the Scotia McLeod conference on Friday evening, May 23, from 7:00 to 7:45. Call is 6:30; go to the theatre on the second floor. Please note that no food is allowed in the theatre - bottled water only. Please be on time so that we can run a couple of tunes that we haven't played for awhile!
Dress is black. This is a professional gig, and they have requested two things - 1. that we play Newfoundland music, and 2. that we wear the tartan sashes - once more for old times sake!
It would be great to play I'll Hang My Harp and Genevieve's Reel - cellos, can you make it? Julia is going to be in New York with her choir - is there anyone who would like to fill in for her solo?
Repertoire - please review, especially the tunes with parts!
