NOTES FROM THE DEAN, Anthony Montagno
November 2018
As the beautiful changing colors of the leaves usher us into another
autumn season, I reflect upon how thankful I am for the members
of the Canton AGO. The talent and knowledge that we have in our
guild never ceases to amaze me! Our November meeting is a great
way to show off some of those musical (and cooking) talents as
well as having an opportunity to get to know fellow members better
at the pot luck dinner. If you are interested in participating as a
performer in this collaborative effort, please do not hesitate to
contact me or Bob Morrison by November 19th as there is still time
to participate. Don’t forget your covered dish and I’ll see you on
the 26th!
Also, many thanks to Levi Muriuki who played an absolutely
wonderful program at the last minute for our October meeting.
Levi’s sensitive playing and technical prowess paired beautifully
with the capable Kegg organ and fabulous acoustic of St. Paul’s
Episcopal Church of Canton. Thanks also to Bill Kendrick and the reception team of St. Paul’s for allowing
us to use the space and providing us with a top notch reception.
