Encore Recitals

AMSF encourages members of the public as well as members of AMSF to enjoy these free recitals. Our members work diligently to prepare their music for public performance, but we need an audience to help us develop performance skills.

We offer after-recital refreshments and a chance to talk with performers and other AMSF members in attendance, so it is also a good time to meet some of us for those of you who may be considering membership, or for those simply in search of good music and friendship.
