The American Viola Society and the Amateur Chamber Music Players (ACMP) Foundation will again sponsor a nationwide "Super Sunday'' Viola Chamber Music Reading Party on January 25, 2004. This free event brings together viola chamber music enthusiasts of all abilities for a couple of hours ofviola ensemble music and social fun. The event is a good way to get amateurs and/or students involved in local chapter activities, and may interest some of these members in joining the AVS. Please let your Chapter members know ahead of time to reserve Sunday, January 25, 2004. The AVS grant from the ACMP will be used to assist local chapters with the costs of publicity (mailing, posters, etc.) and possible music purchase/ copy license/rental fees. Chapters can also send in receipts for the cost of refreshments (mostly beverages, since, people are usually willing to donate pot-luck food and baked goods). Be sure to save all programs and receipts as the ACMP money will be sent out after these items have been received.
