‘Rona Quartet

We are four professional musicians who all play the horn (commonly called the french horn). Three months into the pandemic we all responded to a suggestion to meet outdoors and make some music, just to feel normal for an afternoon. On June 14th we gathered in a backyard…and the rest?

  • Planning our first gathering.
  • Chicago SunTimes article.
  • A Maplewood block party where we played for people scattered on their from the lawns down the block. This is the beautiful sidewalk chalk they welcomed us with!
  • Poster for the ‘Rona Quartet
    Love this poster that Baird and Warner created (we all got a good giggle out of the saxophone image).
  • ‘Rona Quartet on the North Center Stage
    Our first sponsored event!
  • Car screen says outdoor temp of 47 but feels like 42 with 61% humidity
    We were still trying to play socially-distanced outdoors but the weather is starting to get cold!
  • Home for the Holidays - match the musician ad
    Mary Jo created this fun game where we challenged our readers to match the musician to the recording space
  • ‘Rona Quartet at Horner Park
    First “Home for the Holidays” planning session and our last ‘in-person’ meet up until March 21, 2021.
