Meeting Info

The MAAA meets the 4th week of every month (unless otherwise noted below). All instrument types, playing styles, and skill levels are welcomed. Our meetings offer MAAA members and guests the opportunities to perform on a sign up basis. Our open forum accordion discussions are chaired to encourage audience participation, involvement and resource sharing. Players, listeners and their families/friends are cordially welcomed.

We also schedule special concert meetings which show case professional Guest Artist performances. These special meetings offer our members interactive questions/answer sessions with the featured concert artist.

MAAA meetings are held at the Dolphin Seafood Restaurant - Natick, MA (map/menu). Food and refreshments are available for purchase through the restaurant.
