This is the official call for the 2022 Ohio Federation of Music Clubs State Convention to be held October 21 and 22 in Columbus, Ohio. Hosted by District II, the website containing all the details for the 92nd Convention can be found by clicking on this link: www.ofmc-convention.org . Note that you can either register online or by mail. Registration is October 9 so that the caterers can be ready.
The convention schedule has been compressed into two days – 24 hours from start to finish spread over a Friday and a Saturday – to better accommodate the busy lives we have these days. But it has also been filled with enough events and alternatives to make good use of your time.
Of special note is the address by Deborah Freeman, president of the National Federation of Music Clubs during the Friday night banquet, followed by a concert by the NFMC Young Artists Sylvia Hong and Michael Rector, Duo-pianists. Please check the schedule for a complete schedule of meetings, workshops and activities.
Also please note the pre-convention Piano Teacher’s Workshop by Catherine Rollin at 9 a.m. Friday morning at Stanton’s Sheet Music.
James and Christina Dorinsky and their committee have planned a wonderful time of music and fellowship and I look forward to seeing you there. If you have specific questions after viewing the website, you can call them at 614-457-3914 or email them at jcdorinsky@sbcglobal.net .
It will be good to be together again after several hard years of the Covid pandemic. After all, “Music builds community. Communities support music.”
See you in Columbus!
Ron Marenchin
President, Ohio Federation of Music Clubs
