Hello Friends,

We hope you can join us for a Groupmuse Musical Soirée at our home.

Lesi Mei, a concert pianist will perform Debussy and other Impressionistic music as well as several works from the Great American Songbook.

Ray and I were introduced to Groupmuse through our friends Sami and Ann. Groupmuse connects professional musicians with people who would like to host musical concerts in their home or other venues. The musicians are compensated by donations from the attendees.

The happy hour will begin at 4 PM and the concert will start at 5 PM. We will have snacks/appetizers and ask that everyone bring their own bottle of wine/beverage and a cash donation of $15+ per person for Lesi.

Please RSVP through the Groupmuse site below. They charge a separate registration fee of $5 per person which covers the cost to operate the Group Muse program.

We can only accommodate 22 guests so please RSVP as soon as possible.

We hope to see you on August 2!

Mary and Ray

Where does this music come from?

The French "impressionist" composers opened a vast new door to new colors in the classical music field. Perhaps because of that, and the inquisitive nature of French music (such as Debussy and Satie's music), has made these music hugely popular in the film score arena. Perhaps the harmony - color relationship has always opened door for story telling, and that will lead to the last part of the concert, which the original music actually told stories.
