Acoustic instruments only. We have a piano for pianists. Our meetups are casual exchanges of music performance. Ideally, each musician plays a tune and we rotate. Conversations between rounds occur organically. If we talk we talk, if we don't we don't. Talking is prohibited during performance. Non-musicians are welcome but are not encouraged unless you feel the need to bring a companion for personal reasons. We offer loose seating for 12, a smoke-free, and beautiful apartment that you will feel comfortable in. We play anything we want from classical, folk, to self composed. Collaboration amongst musicians during performance is encouraged but only if the performer invites it :) We look forward to making this a personal and musically rich experience for all of us!

Have no fear, Spring is almost here! However, I feel that we should take advantage of the final days of this season before we move into the three seasons that are not synonymous with snow and ice. So on the last Sunday of the winter season let's hike Mount Wachusett. I had originally planned to organize a hike to Purgatory Chasm (the words "purgatory" and "winter" just seem to fit so well together) this weekend but apparently the trail through the Chasm and all its interesting rock formations is closed during winter so it didn't seem worth it. So instead I thought a trip up the backside of the most popular ski mountain in New England would be a good send off. Don't worry we'll be avoiding the ski area so no one should be run over by any out of control skiers or snow-boarders. For more info on the mountain and to look at a map, check out this website: DCR Wachusett website. We'll be meeting at the small parking lot at the corners of Gregory Rd and Mountain Road. The directions I will use are: HERE. We need to try to carpool as much as possible. There aren't that many parking spaces so the more we can consolidate the better. We may have to move some cars around once we get there too. I haven't picked the exact trails yet and we may have to adjust depending on the conditions and which trails are open but it should be a moderate hike up to the summit. So come join us to close out the winter at Wachusett Mountain.
Our first meetup was awesome - thanks to everyone that came! Our second meetup will be a paleo potluck. The time isn't definite just yet, but we will be hosting it in our home. Paleo-curious guests are welcome. We also plan to discuss ideas for our April event and for those who would like to watch it, we'll have Art Devany's lectures on Evolutionary Fitness on hand. Street parking is for free on Sundays. If you want to take public transit, we're right by the Porter Square T on the Red Line. Hope to see you there! Michal
