The orchestra’s next meeting will be held on Monday June 9th at 7pm.

 

CONDUCTOR’S CORNER

Dear members of the Mid-Peninsula Recorder Orchestra, Listed below is information regarding the final meetings and performance that will conclude MPRO’s 2024-2025 season. Please note that sopranino, great bass and contrabass recorders as well as bassoon will be needed at all three meetings with krummhorns needed at the meetings on June 9 and June 27. Please note as well that the meetings on June 23 and June 27 will take place in the Veterans Center Theater. The spring concert will be in the Veterans Center Theater on Saturday, June 28, at 2:00 P.M. As in the past, small ensembles are encouraged to appear in the summer concert. Those groups that intend to perform at the summer concert on June 28 are asked to send me the following information by June 13 : the title(s) of the music to be performed, the name(s) of the composer(s), the name of the ensemble (if any) and the names of the ensemble’s members. Finally, all those who are playing in the MPRO concert on June 28 should plan on attending all three meetings if possible since these are the only opportunities that remain to work on the music for orchestra’s upcoming performance.

I encourage you to invite your family and friends to attend the orchestra’s summer concert. I would also like to thank the members of MPRO for all of the time and effort that they have put in preparing this season’s music, as well as the orchestra’s officers for seeing to the necessary tasks that make MPRO’s programs possible. Special thanks go to Greta Haug-Hryciw for continuing to serve as the orchestra’s Assistant Director and conducting a portion of this season’s meetings. I wish all MPRO members the very best this summer and look forward to seeing all of you again in September at our first meeting of the orchestra’s 2025-2026 season.

 

Sincerely,

Fred Palmer
