Dear Friends, returning and new members of the Middle East Ensemble
at U of C. I would like to welcome you all and hope that this year
will bring
with it a great deal of musical adventures from Central Asia all the
way to
Eastern Europe.
Our first meeting will take place on Wednesday, October 1st at 6 PM.
We will meet in room 205 of Goodspeed. Please BRING YOUR
INSTRUMENTS,
so we can jam a little! Meanwhile, feel free to spread the word so
we can have
more people coming in, and maybe joining us.

For those who haven't yet replied to my previous e-mail and are
still interested
in joining the ensemble, please send e-mail to iboulos@....
Meanwhile,
if you have any photos of you playing or involved in some kind of a
musical activity,
please send it to me so I can add it to the pilot website at

The exact address is:

Usually, you'll find parking after 5 PM on 59th street. You'll have
to go through a
little hallway to get to the entrance's side of the building,
(Basically it connects 59th street to the quad).
