        These events typically attract 30 to 50 people with 5 to 10 sign-up musicians dividing stage time for the evening. With our roots in Western Literature (classical music), maybe 50 to 75% of music performed is in this tradition. We are open to related forms and do often hear flamenco, jazz, steelstring and world folklore. These gatherings are not only for musicians. Most attending just love music, discovering emerging talent and being the first to witness new creations for the art form. Munches (fruit, cakes or cookies) are welcome... bring enough to share.
