Volume 21 Issue 9 - Summer 2016
It's combined June/July/August summer issue time with, we hope, enough between the covers to keep you dipping into it all through the coming lazy, hazy days. From Jazz Vans racing round "The Island" delivering pop-up brass breakouts at the roadside, to Bach flute ambushes strolling "The Grove, " to dozens of reasons to stay in the city. May yours be a summer where you find undiscovered musical treasures, and, better still, when, unexpectedly, the music finds you.

Sean Rice, clarinet; Yehonatan Berick, viola; Yosuke Kawasaki, violin; Jonathan<br />

hall and giving it to YOU.<br />
