We've got a lot to think and talk about.   This will be Joanne's final meeting with us.   She'll continue with PRS meetings, but will be leaving the Board after many years of faithful and wonderful service.   Thank you, Joanne..  

It will be Vince's first meeting.      After many informal requests for someone to take over, Vince was the one who finally accepted the challenge and we all unanimously applaud him for it   We thank him for being willing to step in and learn as he goes.

I'm starting to pull the agenda together, so let me know what you're thinking we should include.  

We'll meet at Joanne's House

Monday March 5th at 8 pm.

Thanks.       Dody]]> tag:blog.philadelphiarecordersociety.org,2006-12-24:d501c10d-9eb6-4647-a89a-3552d875bbbd Philadelphia Recorder Society 2007-01-09T17:26:30Z 2006-12-24T15:23:00Z
Piffaro's Xmas in Mexico concerts, Dec 15, 16 and 17 in Center City, Chestnut Hill and Wilmington were  stunning, thrilling experiences.    My favorite venue for viewing and listening was up in the choir loft at the Presbyterian Church in Chestnut Hill.  Piffaro was augmented by extra trumpeteers, and was joined by the Philadelpia Choral Arts Society, a choir of 80 voices.   From the choir loft everything was crystal clear.    This was true whether the full choir and all of Piffaro were playing, or as in many cases, a quartet of voices accompanied by lute and harp  was playing.   The music was exquisite, melodic, harmonically full and soul stirring.   It was a remarkable, and memorable evening.  Don't you wish you'd been there????

Back to the Philadelphia Recorder Society's performing group.   They will continue rehearsing thru Jan and Feb in preparation for performing for Play the Recorder Month in March.   A return trip to The Bourse is planned, and maybe to a Borders Store as well.   

Now let's give Piffaro more space.   Their February concert, Sweet Pipes will include a young recorder player, winner of the ongoing nationwide competition.   The five  finalists for this competition are from CA MN and Washington DC.   The final play off will be held at the Germantown Settlement School on Jan 20 at 7:30, and you are invited.  HOWEVER.......we are looking for donors.   People willing to donate frequent flyer air miles to help in the transportation of these talented young folke.   So if you have frequent flyer miles you are willing to part with, please contact
