The clouds did not quell the enthusiasm of the seven performers who played on the September 29th Cadenza. We welcomed back to performance three former members, Deborah Birnbaum, Diane Cormicle, and Greg Riviello, who has maintained his membership for many years, but only recently began performing again.
The program was quite varied and very well-executed by everyone.
