CMNC - About CMNClist - Chamber Musicians of Northern California

This is a free, fully moderated newsgroup, delivered by email. It runs on Google Groups.

If you have registered with CMNC, you will receive CMNC workshop announcements, even if you do not join CMNClist.
If you opt to be added to CMNClist, you will receive email messages sent by fellow subscribers to CMNClist, and you may post messages relevant to chamber musicians.
The moderator reviews all postings (messages) before they are sent out, so that only pertinent announcements, informational postings, and inquiries are accepted
Examples: upcoming concerts, player seeking other interested players.
This is not a discussion group, so there are few messages (a few per week to a few per day)
Almost all follow-ups occur between individuals (off-list).
