Join us for an interactive Inter-generational House Concert hosted by our own Roger Wiesmeyer.
From Roger:
I'm excited to share music I love with people I love. This is the first recital that I've played since summer of 2019. So much has changed in five years hasn't it? Music is still here and my relationship to it has shifted A LOT! Please come out and bring your friends of all ages to explore music and our relationship with it in a friendly, non-didactic atmosphere. After all, even though I've gotten to be with music for a big chunk of my life, I don't know any more about it than you do.
Our musical playground will include Bach(of course!), Mozart(duh!) and Brahms(no duh!).
Come curious!
This is a fundraiser concert and is open to the public. Donations at the door are $20. Teens and kids are free.
