Hello everyone!

First I want to once again thank everyone who reached out to check on me, I feel
So appreciated and loved! Everyone involved with LIGO is amazing!

Sadly I came to the conclusion that I will need to take the rest of this season off. Most evenings I’m exhausted by 7pm, and with all the family obligations, teaching, and dialysis/doctor appointments my time is stretched to the breaking point.

I do plan on resuming LIGO in September, and hope you will all join me again!

Thank you for your support and understanding!

Due to the amount of dr appointments, upcoming surgery, and a musical I’m playing in at the beginning of February, rehearsals won’t resume until February 8.

I apologize for the long break, and truly miss you all!

Sincerely,

Chris

Hello everyone!!!

First, I apologize for being MIA for so long, these past few months have been very crazy. I have recently sold my house in Massapequa and my family is currently living with my in-laws in Bethpage, and if all goes well, we should be moving into our new house located in East Northport before Thanksgiving. Also, I just went on a brief tour of upstate NY playing and teaching at the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam and Schenectady County Community College.

With that said, I’m ready to get back to work conducting LIGO and doing more Legato events. We have a new location for rehearsals which I believe you all will love. We will rehears at the old Huntington library, now called the Spirit of Huntington, located at 2 Melville Rd Huntington Station 11746.

We will do weekly rehearsals 8:30-10pm on Wednesdays starting next week October 16th. Every other week there is a drum circle that uses the space, so I must ask that you wait in the parking lot until I arrive to let you in, as to not disrupt the drummers.

I will have music to hand out, and we will discuss seating, I will move people around.

If anyone has any questions, please email or text me 516-662-4268.

See you all next week!!!

Chris
