Our hosts, Kath and Phil say:
We're having a concert at our house! It will be on Friday, 5/13 at 8pm. House concerts are an opportunity to enjoy great music in someone's home, where the performers are right in front of you and don't have to work a sound system - it's all acoustic. This is also a great venue for kids, and Hot Soup really gets them involved.
Details: Potluck dinner (optional) starts at 6:30
Admission is by donation; suggested donation is $15 per person. That's a Hot deal!
Please RSVP by email so we'll have enough chairs. Looking forward to seeing you.
Email Kath at rabbitkr@gmail.com for reservations and directions.

Ann Mayo Muir with Grammy-Nominated Ensemble Galilei Celebrate The Release of Their New CD ~
Ensemble Galilei, a highly respected Celtic/Early Music/Classical Crossover group, arranged and performs the pieces with Celtic harp, fiddle viola, guitar, percussion and viola da gamba (an early cello-like instrument). Of the CD Grordon Bok writes, "Some pieces feel American, many have a European twist and a couple have run off with the Gypsies...it is a sinuous, snappy, energetic delight of interpretation, with many shifts and surprises, happily suited to Annie's unique vision. With so many tastes and textures, this CD is a feast for the musical gourmet."
With special guest, HOT SOUP!
