Squaw Creek Recorder Ensemble

We try to meet once a week, and play for about two hours. Generally we prefer early music, either written or arranged for recorders, by composers such as Bach, Byrd, Dowland, Froberger, Gabrieli, Holborne, Isaac, and Telemann. Occasionally we perform for churches and other community organizations.

Members

Central Iowa Symphony

Erica and I play second violin in the Central Iowa Symphony, directed by James Hannon. Musicians from Ames and nearby communities rehearse once a week on Mondays, 7:00 p.m - 9:15 p.m, beginning in September and ending in April. The orchestra presents four concerts during the season.

Before the 2007 Spring concert, we and two other parent-daughter pairs in the orchestra were interviewed by Laura Pieper, a reporter for the Ames Daily Tribune. Laura wrote an article, All in the family, which appeared in the May 3 edition of the Tribune.
