Two sessions of consort music: 10-11:15 and 11:45-1:00 at Martha McGaughey’s apartment in Inwood (address supplied upon RSVP).

Come spend a Saturday morning playing consort music! We’ll play four-part (or five-part) music, depending on how many people sign up. No need to bring a stand or any music, unless you have something you really want to play. No coaching, just playing for fun.

If you’re interested, send me an email (marthamcg@aol.com) and tell me what size viol you’d like to play, whether you would describe your level as advanced beginner, intermediate, or high intermediate, and if you have any time constraints. I’ll try to put together two compatible groups and I can supply music, stands, and some refreshments. I have instruments at the house which people are welcome to use: several basses, but only one tenor and one treble.

I’m on two subway lines, and my neighborhood is an easy commute by car from NJ or CT. Parking will be easy if the weather is bad. If the day is sunny, it can be harder, but there are several garages near my house.
