Our next concert- featuring some very special composers. Scroll to see more! If the title is mystifying, it refers to featured composers William Herschel and Martin Gaskell being both musicians/composers and renowned astronomers. Music both out of this world and down to earth!

Concertino Strings had our first rehearsal today for our April concerts. It is going to be a very special program, fitting the mood of our nation. All the music is about longing for the past or dreaming of the future. Three local bay area composers are featured. We will have a return of soprano Emily Sinclair, who was ill and missed singing the Saturday concert in February; and there will be projection of video of stars along with Martin Gaskell's TO THE STARS.

This past weekend we lost a dear friend and musician, our Concertino Strings harpsichordist Roy Stegman. It was a sudden passing. He played the Manfredini Christmas Concerto at the Wednesday concert, then did not show up for the Saturday concert which was VERY unlike him; did not notify anyone. Sunday morning we finally persuaded police to force open his apt for a welfare check. He was on the floor and unresponsive. He had had renewed cardiac problems lately. He was 84.

It looks like there will be a feature article about Roy in the SC Sentinel soon by historian Ross Gibson who is Katharine Burke's brother. Watch out for that.

We can't yet really believe he is gone and will miss him terribly. We hope to memorialize Roy at our February Concerts, with some Bach.
