Somewhere Ensemble

Mondays, 5:30p–6:30p
at the Capital Region Music Hub

The Somewhere Ensemble is a community group of instrumentalists and singers that plays a combination of written music and improvisatory pieces. Many members are brushing the dust off their instruments/voices after a period of inactivity, and some are learning for the very first time. Our motto is "community through harmony", and folks are encouraged to join regardless of current skill level; we are all learning and growing together, and as the saying goes, "you gotta start somewhere!"

All instruments and levels of playing are welcome to join in the music making.
