Lost sheet music near Peace Plaza, Rochester
Description
At 9:45 a.m. on Tuesday, I realized a folder of sheet music I use for weekly rehearsals was missing from a cafe by Peace Plaza in Rochester. The folder is a light brown leather with a red ribbon bookmark and a few pencil marks on the edge. I’d just left a table to refill my coffee when I set the music down for a moment and someone bumped the chair. I’ve checked the Mayo Clinic campus shops and walked the block around Peace Plaza, but the pages are still nowhere to be found. The music is essential to my students and me, and I’m desperate to recover it and keep practicing. I miss those melodies already.
