On Sunday October 23rd, at 3PM in Meany Hall, the Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra will perform its first concert of the season. As a tribute to Meg, the concert will include a brief excerpt from Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring, which has special meaning for us, as explained in this excerpt from our wedding ceremony:

On Sunday, November 20th, at 4PM, at Woodland Park United Methodist Church, 78th and Greenwood, the Northwest Clarinet Choir will perform its first concert of the season. Meg played with the group from its inception in 1990 until 2 days before her 2nd brain surgery. The concert is free, and will feature pieces that Meg has played with them, favorites of hers, and an arrangement of a piece which she nominated (when asked) for the concert. A reception hosted by the choir will follow, in the church social hall. From their announcement:
Hello Northwest Clarinet Choir Fans,
Please save the date of Sunday, November 20, 2011 at 4:00 p.m. for our next concert. We'll be dedicating this concert to Meg Holmes, one of our founding members who recently passed away after a 2-year battle with brain cancer. The choir will also be hosting an informal reception in her honor in the Fellowship Hall following the concert--everyone is invited.
Hope to see you all there!
