Chamber music meetup in Winnetka, Sunday, October 29

This event has been filled with 24 Meetup musicians and most pieces have now been assigned, as of 10/5/2023. Our next big meetup will take place February 25, 2024, with invitations going out late December, 2023.

Hold the date/time: 5:00-7:30pm, Sunday, Oct. 29, 2023!
We are meeting again at Music Institute of Chicago's Winnetka campus, with 8 rooms each hour. Plan on 2 hours of playing time (with two different groups/pieces) and a half-hour at the end for discussion, snacks, and a chance to check out a new music-teaching video game that is in development and receiving a lot of venture capital interest.
We hope to have a wide variety of levels. Feel free to come and listen even if you don't feel ready to play.
Two special requests:
1. One of our members has arranged the five Dvorak Op. 47 bagatelles for wind instruments: flute, oboe, clarinet in B-flat, horn in F, and bassoon. If you would like to play this arrangement, and provide immediate feedback to the arranger, please indicate this in your RSVP. This session will take place from 6-7pm
2. I (intermediate pianist) would like to work on parts of the Mozart quintet for piano and winds in E-flat major, KV 452. I’m looking for people who are interested in working on this piece for a few sessions, at meetups or privately, maybe getting some coaching, and then performing it, where and when tbd. But sign up even if you just want to play it for this meetup. Looking for: oboe, clarinet, bassoon, English horn.
Please (1) RSVP via Meetup, AND (2) email me your information by Sept. 18. If you RSVP but don't send the email, I will assume you are coming only to listen. (If you already sent me your details, just email to confirm you are playing, and answer the last two questions below.)
