It's Not Too Late to Register!

Hi all,

 

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I wanted to let you know that preview rehearsals start this week and next for the 2012-2013 NH Fiddle Ensemble. If you are not familiar with the Ensemble, take a look at the videos from the April 2012 performance to see what it's all about. You'll see that the Ensemble is made up of people of all ages and abilities playing a variety of acoustic instruments. We all have a great time practicing together through the winter and then performing as a group in the April concerts.

 

Please feel free to join us at one of the preview rehearsals to see if you would like to join this year's Ensemble.
