DANCE CANCELLED! Sorry folks, we have had to cancel tonight’s English dance (January 20). Travel difficulties from the snow and extreme cold we might have been able to handle, but the parking lot at First Baptist has a foot of snow on it and we cannot be certain that it will be cleared by dance time. We hope to reschedule the Favorite’s Night evening for later in the year.

Band
Serendipity
Barb Seppeler, Piano, Laurie Giroux-Gillman, Flute
Pianist, music teacher and choral director, Barb Seppeler, fell hard for the beauty of the English Country Dancer repertoire, and she has made it her own with deep understanding and delicacy. Laurie Giroux – Gillman, a fellow music teacher and extraordinary flute player, is the other half of this delightful ensemble. Barb and Laurie have played regularly for dances in Rochester and all over the North East since 2012. They really have that teamwork thing worked out.
