(The other two collections of lessons for Good Friday and Holy Saturday are lost.)

MUSIC, JAN 27: Renegade Orchestra at Rancho Nicasio Bar and Restaurant, Nicasio, California, USA • ArtsEarth | |
Welcome to the Renegade Orchestra – it’s time to throw out all the old conventions of a quiet, sleepy, stuffy show of musicians locked in straight jackets of tradition.
Clap your hands, tap your feet, and yell all you want – the Renegade Orchestra embraces the virtuosic skills of top bay area musicians and turns them loose on songs orchestras have never or maybe shouldn’t do. No sleepy pop songs, no overly-lush jazz standards, but the pure unbridled fury of what an orchestra can truly do.
