Recorder ensembles led by Laura Townsend
Laura Townsend is once again offering a variety of weekly ensembles in her home studio with some Covid-era innovations in place: hybrid ensemble meetings with an online option always available and in-person playing for folks who are fully vaccinated/boosted, feeling well, and testing negative on a same-day rapid test. You are welcome to join any appropriate-level ensemble at any point. The fee for individual sessions is $20. In-person spaces are limited, and online participants are always welcome!
For details about the ensembles, see the announcement here. Contact Laura at beginbaroque@gmail.com to sign up or for more information.
