David Barnert Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) What time? The Eastern North America one is at Noon EST/5PM GMT. Both endeavors predict more than 20 participants (each). If they average 3 minutes/segment that’s over an hour for each (and we haven’t heard from the west coast contingent). Edited to add: BTW, Jody’s “autoharp friend” is Cindy Harris.

Edited to add: BTW, Jody’s “autoharp friend” is Cindy Harris. Thanks for Cindy's name, David. The WCD concert is a pre-recorded video in two parts. As the players are all over the world, this was necessary. It will be made available on 6 February and will then be available forever, so you don't need to worry about clashes. But I will reveal that it is fantastic! All systems are covered in many styles. Edited January 8, 2022 by Colin Whyles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Stein Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) I hope it is okay if I also plug my own personal concert for the day. In addition to the Eastern North American Online Concertina Concert we've put together, I was working with some bandmates on a project to video our performances. I decided to expand the project to include additional selections of jazz, classical, traditional, and popular standards which I arranged for solo EC. Here are a few screenshots. Looking forward to the whole day of music from around the world. Edited January 9, 2022 by Randy Stein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
