» The Reminder: September concerts at a glance « - Tuesday September 22, 7:00 pm, Maureen Forrester Hall, Sofya Gulyak, piano, in an ALL-LISZT program! - Friday September 25, 7:00 pm, Maureen Forrester Hall, Michael Lewin, piano: Clementi, Brahms, Chopin, Leoš Janáček, Lisz » Help Wanted #1 « Some musicians who perform on our series need overnight accommodation before or after their concert, and in that case we have always offered to find them a host with whom to stay. We need more hosts! Please consider inviting a musician to stay with you this year! Even if you can do it only once, that would be a big help. If you can offer a bed and basic hospitality, that’s all that’s required. Your guests will not expect meals— but most hosts provide a basic breakfast: coffee, toast... it doesn’t have to be fancy. What’s in it for you? • You get to meet musicians! and hear about their lives touring, performing, etc. Over the years, some hosts and their guests have formed real friendships. • you get a couple of comp tickets to the concert (and if you already have a subscription you can use the tickets to invite friends) Important footnotes: • We always ask musicians about any allergies (foods, pets, other) so we can match them with appropriate hosts. • If you join the list of volunteer hosts, you won’t be deluged with requests, and if a request does come to you, you are under absolutely no obligation to say yes. To join the list of volunteer hosts, contact Jean Narveson by email at <midnightediting@gmail.com> Thank you! » Help Wanted #2 « VOLUNTEERS are needed for occasional pickup/delivery of our visiting musicians, to/from the Toronto airports. This is, we know, a Big Ask. Most of our artists make it to and from Waterloo on their own, but sometimes we get a request for assistance with transportation. The immediate need is for Michael Lewin, who plays for us on Friday September 25: he will be arriving at Billy Bishop airport Thursday the 24th at 1 pm and fly out on Saturday at noon. If you would like to meet him at the airport and get him to K/W it would be an enormous help! If you can do this please email me at <ccccurmudgeon@gmail.com> and I will put you and Michael in contact. And if you can’t do this one but would consider helping in future, please email me at <ccccurmudgeon@gmail.com> so I can contact you if/when the need arises.
