REHEARSALS for Scratch Orchestra Project

Hello Friends of New Music at the Green Mill,

In preparation for the upcoming fall concert,
There will be two OPEN rehearsals occuring on Saturday July 17 and July 31 at Northeastern Illinois University, 4-7 PM, in Fine Arts ROOM-144 (FA-144).

Feel free to arrive late if necessary. I recommend parking on Bryn Mawr and walking to the Fine Arts Building, or you can pay $5 to park in the lot.

We have an overload of pianists, so if you can play electronic keyboard, electronics, accordion, percussion, or other instruments besides piano, please consider some creative options. Or, we can develop piano 4 or 6-hand!

If you have any questions please call Jeff at 312 848 7410, or e-mail: newmusicgm@gmail.com
