Countdown To RISK String Ensemble!



Happy New Year, and may it be a RISK-Y one for us all!!

RISK will officially start up again TUESDAY, JAN. 15th, 3:30 to 4:45, at the Minglement Library with new songs and fresh energy! Tuition is $40 for the 10 weeks if paid by Jan. 23rd, or $5/ session (save $10 by paying a lump sum).

THREE COOL THINGS:
  1. BIG NEWS!! Pete Welch is offering us a benefit gig similar to the shows he puts on for the Backbone Campaign! The show is called "Love Duets" and will happen on February 15th at the Red Bike! We are hoping RISK will perform 2 or 3 songs (Mairi's wedding being one, of course) to start out the evening. 

  2. More great news!  Some holiday elves so enjoyed the String Kollective's music last year, they decided to give a gift to RISK, and make sure everyone can have a RISK t-shirt of their own for concerts!  Chip in whatever you can afford, $10, $5 or even just a token $1, and the elves will cover the rest of the cost!  Place whatever you can afford in an envelope with your name on it, and give it to Shane at the first RISK session.  Hurrah, now we'll have matching shirts for our upcoming performances!  Thanks Elves! 

  3. Finally, EVENING RISK, will happen the last Thursday of the month. For January, we'll be playing on the 31st from 7:15 to 8:30.

Looking forward to Musical Mayhem and Merry Making soon!!


Cheers,


Kim and Shane
