May 18, 2019, Portland Oregon
On May 18th, a group of WEKA members and friends gathered at the lovely home of a Portland early keyboard enthusiast for an afternoon of music making, community, and refreshments.
We met in a large, beautiful music room with excellent acoustics, well equipped with a fully and authentically restored 1840 Stodart Grand Piano and a 1986 Zuckermann Franco-Flemish harpsichord.
