Regional Lyre Gatherings with Veronika Roemer

/

All are invited to a small lyre get-together with Veronika Roemer at Margo Ketchum's home in Kimberton, PA on July 30-31, 2022 from 9 am to 5 pm each day. There will be a 3-hour session with a break each morning (9:00 am to 12:00 pm) and afternoon (2:00 to 5:00 pm). We are asking $5 per session (or $15 for all 4 sessions) to help defray Veronika’s expenses. On Saturday afternoon we will play pieces in memory of Kerry Lee, who died on Sept 8, 2020.

Each session will be independent, so feel free to come to one or two or all of them. We will have music for all playing levels, unison and in parts, and will address special technical questions such as damping, repeated notes, and more. Some sessions will also include singing, with and without the lyre.

To sign up, please fill out this form by July 27.
For questions, please contact Margo at lyrists@gmail.com or 610-608-9281.
