First Musica Maestrale Festival to be held in Astoria on August 18-21

Press Release from Musica Maestrale:

Hi everyone,

We've just finished the season, but we are already looking ahead to the summer!  This year, we are trying something new and bold, and holding an early music festival in Astoria!  It will be 2 1/2 days full of concerts and workshops.  Whether you are a musician wanting to get some coaching on some tricky pieces, or an aficionado who loves the idea of non-stop early music concerts, there will be something for everyone.  Come on out to the coast to hang out in beautiful Astoria in mid-summer, and join us for this early music extravaganza!  We will even help you with the accommodations, if you wish.  More info below.

Also... we will be having our annual summer fundraiser/party in the evening of Sun. July 10.  As always, it will be a fun time filled with good food, drinks, and company, and of course, early music!  This time, the music will be provided by the wonderful Arwen Myers, whom you might have heard in our January program, and yours truly.  We are also going to try something new... a silent auction, for which we soliciting items to auction off.  It will be great fun; more on this soon, but in the meantime, save the date!

Cheers,
Hideki
