March 27, 2024. St. Patrick's Day dinner! We took proceeds from November's show to buy us some luxurious sushi and Japanese friend chicken! Thank you to Kyoko for organizing this. The evening was incredibly memorable, including notable Dixit clues like Pat's shoes and Peter Panda. Oh, and speaking of this...
HAPPY RETIREMENT, PAT! THANK YOU FOR TWELVE YEARS (since the beginning) OF PLAYING IN WOODWIND ENSEMBLE WITH US!
November 16, 2024. Dominion-Chalmers United Church in Ottawa, Ontario: Thank you so much to Kyoko and the Japanese Community Association for bringing us the opportunity to play with the Minyo-Kai Japanese folklore dancers and Toronto singer Aki Takahasi. This was the Tomoni Go Together 3 at which the Japanese Ambassador was in attendance too! Adrian was commissioned to write an arrangement of a less-known Japanese folk song and to set it to our woodwind ensemble.

I just wanted to let you know that I have heard nothing but wonderful things about your performance on Sunday! I am so sad I had to miss it! Our residents absolutely loved the music, and I was told you made their whole day! Everyone was in high spirits through to the evening! Music truly is good for the soul. Thank you so much for visiting our Memory Care and spreading some joy!
