Celebrations

Kutsinhira Annual Membership Meeting

The membership meeting and performances this year will be held on March 6, 2010, 4:00-9:00pm or thereabouts, at Holt Elementary School, 770 Calvin St. Eugene, OR

We invite all Kutsinhira members and their families and friends to this special night of music. This year we are extremely fortunate to have our dear friend and teacher Musekiwa Chingodza in Eugene during the time of the annual meeting. You can count on a rollicking good time when Musekiwa is around! He's been known to grab a pair of hosho, spontaneously add a drum pattern to a song, or jump up and dance, to the enjoyment of all. We will enjoy marimba, singing and mbira performances by our classes and ensembles, a tasty potluck, and a chance to socialize with friends. Details to follow soon.
