M EM·BERS PROFILES,<br />
Welcome to part two of our<br />
·<strong>1999</strong>/2000 Member Profiles.<br />
' Every year WholeNote looks at the entire season ahead with these<br />
Members' Profiles, which, incidentally. are not written by<br />
WholeNote but by the members themselves. So what you read here is<br />
straight "from the horses mouth".<br />
Last month, alas, the gremlins that bedevil any enterprise<br />
such as this sank their teeth devilishly deep. Three member profiles,<br />
all submitted in timely fashion, were accidentally omitted: Aradia<br />
Ensemble, Baroque Music Beside the Grange, and Calyx. Consequently<br />
we begin this month s profile section with an apology and<br />
the three missing profiles, updated, where possible for publication<br />
in <strong>October</strong>.<br />
