A Summer Update - May 28, 2020
The first part of the year has brought many changes for our group. At our February concert, we bid a fond farewell to two of our members. Sir Anthony Buzzard (oboe), who founded our group announced his retirement; and Kirsten Schober (bassoon), who began her family leave in preparation for the arrival of her first child. In March, we welcomed two new members: Erin Olsen (oboe), and Neva Velasquez (bassoon.) But just as we scheduled our first rehearsal, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and along with it the many restrictions for social distancing and sheltering in place. By mid-May, with some of the COVID-19 restrictions lifted, we felt safe in resuming our rehearsals. With safety still a top priority, we sat at least 6 feet apart and wore face masks when we were not playing. A Virtual Musical Offering As our group discussed performance options for the near future, we decided to offer a virtual music offering for churches and others who needed uplifting during these difficult times. We give thanks to the composers and arrangers who gave us permission to share their music. My Shepherd, You Supply My Need Arr. Stephen DeCesare Shenandoah Arr. Jari Villanueva |
