We have once again partnered with Renew Senior Communities (formerly Peregrine) to make some delicious end-of-term winter music for their residents. They will graciously host us on three evenings and a Saturday morning, and we will provide some quality entertainment.

You are welcome to invite guest artists to join you in your performances if you like. Play something else and want to perform on that as well? Super cool. Do it. The purpose of these holiday performances is community, connection, and enjoyment, so yes to your idea.

If you would like a dress rehearsal, there is a Saturday morning performance class scheduled for December 7. Sign up on the Scheduling page.

For the Renew gigs, you can choose the time slot that fits your schedule best that week — I know it will be an unusual week in many ways for many of you. So take a gander at your schedule and then sign up on the Scheduling page for the day you’d like.

This performance replaces your lesson that week (no lessons Dec 9-14; just performances).

• Call time — be there between 5 and 10 minutes before showtime.

• Dress — just look well groomed, but fancy is always welcome (note: it may be hot inside).

• Piece — choose a piece you like, holiday-related or nah. Ensembles welcome.

After the show, please come to my home, which is just a stone’s throw away from Renew, for some treats and commiserating. Family, friends, and guest artists are welcome to all of it. Can’t wait.
