Folks having a good time at our Open House and Open Rehearsal on December 27 at Oakeside Bloomfield Cultural Center. The orchestra enjoyed an encore reading of Evan's interpretation of the Beethoven Piano Concerto, No. 3. We warmed up with Symphony No. 82 "The Bear" of F.J. Hayden and ended with Beethoven's Symphony No. 3, Eroica, which put our two horn players to work in the last movement. We had a small but appreciative audience and some outrageously good pot luck food. MORE PHOTOS!
