Theme: “A piece you love to teach, share, or play.” Is there a certain piece you love to give to your students? Maybe you learned it when you were their age? Is there music you always share with your colleagues as a "must-have" for their collection? Do you have a piece that you have been wanting to play for us for a long time?? This is the time to polish it up and bring in for our enjoyment! It's the one time in the year we get to meet in a relaxed setting to motivate and support each other. Whether you want to perform, listen, or just reconnect, we’d love to have you there. Chair: Dr. Helena Hyesoo Kim, [email protected]
