Notes:

Performing “every week, without fail” was and is part of our mission. There have been one or two exceptions:
  1. Our one and only ever canceled show was Dec 18, 2008, due to snow (in Seattle!)
  2. When we moved the show to Thursdays, we made the obvious decision not to schedule performances on Thanksgiving.
  3. On Oct 29, 2009, Tuning the Air gave up its scheduled performance in order to host and perform with Robert Fripp and the Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists, in the Great Hall at Fremont Abbey Arts Center.

Since our first show on April 11, 2005, quite a number of people have contributed. Some have been here from the beginning. Others were with us for a period of time, and then moved on. Some are involved full-time. Others are on call, for when we need them the most. Players. Dancers. Lighting. Sound. Staging. House. Every one is essential.
