An enjoyable day for our members at this lovely Lifestyle Village with great support from the residents and Management. The Village has a Boston grand piano (made by the Steinway Company) and certainly our piano players enjoyed using it! We had a wide variety of musical genres played from classical to jazz standards.

One of our best evenings! Superb musicianship both on the piano and keyboards. Arrival music was ably provided by Brian McMurray on the Clavinova. Warren Levick then gave a 15-minute performance on the Clavinova using style arrangements to enhance the songs. Denise Gunson then entertained us for 15 minutes with her usual masterful performance on the Clavinova. To finish the first half, Patrick McMillan played the Clavinova for us with his own sensitive style.
After the raffle and a 30-minute refreshments break, we were entertained by our guest artist for the evening - Paul McIsaac. Paul is a master of keyboards and played both his Korg Pa3X arranger keyboard in conjunction with his Kurzweil PC5-8 workstation. The Korg drove the rhythms and the attack was provided by the Kurzweil and the sounds of the Kurzweil were further enhanced using Keyscape software from his laptop. Unbelievable mastery of the instruments and excellent selection of jazz standards to boot!
