Do you know where your orchestra is?

The next two Redwood Symphony concerts both take place away from our usual Cañada College venue. Don't show up at the wrong place! And help make sure your friends and acquaintances know about the special locations too!

Notre Dame Theatre 1540 Ralston Avenue, Belmont: This weekend's concert and dress rehearsal take place at the Notre Dame Theatre, located almost but not quite at the College of Notre Dame in Belmont. See here for directions.
San Mateo Performing Arts Center: Our April 11th Mahler concert will take place at the San Mateo Performing Arts Center. We'll publish directions in plenty of time. Or, see here.

Big Apology from Music Director

--Eric Kujawsky

My most sincere apology to our Jewish colleagues in the orchestra (not to mention the chorus and soloists) for scheduling a rehearsal on the first night of Passover (March 31). This was an inadvertent goof on my part; my calendar lists the holiday as starting on April 1, and since the first night is on the March page, I missed it. I found out only yesterday, and am disappointed beyond imagining that I will be forced to miss my own family's Seder. Since rescheduling will result in many more people missing the rehearsal, we'll just have to leave it as is. Please let Floyd know in advance if you'll be missing that rehearsal, and find a sub if appropriate to do so. Again, sorry about that.
