Description:
The concert’s title, “DMCO Taxes Its Files” refers to my choosing repertoire solely from the DMCO library in my basement. As part of the program, I have incorporated songs of particular meaning to us. Our beloved librarian, David Hindal, sadly passed away from COVID-19 and we will celebrate his time with us by playing three pieces in his honor.
