This program will consist entirely of original compositions by Musical Club members. You may be surprised by the number of composers in our midst and by the quality of their creations. Composers expected to participate are Elizabeth Austin, Rami Levin, Ami Montstream, David Schonfeld, and Sylvia Goldstein (member emerita). In the time available, we will sample some of their compositions, performed by members and guests in a variety of configurations. (Note: Walter Gwardyak was scheduled to perform an original composition as well, but was unable to perform due to illness.)
