Dear Friends,
This spring, as we watch the plants grow, the birds build their nests, and the outside world greening around us, we have also witnessed the robust vaccination efforts here in Massachusetts. The Concord Orchestra has awakened from its winter slumber to start making music again! The strings have been rehearsing weekly at 51 Walden since April 27th and while we are not able to offer our traditional Concord Pops concerts this season, we are delighted to present a short musical offering, live at 51 Walden, on Saturday evening, May 22nd!! Social distancing and masks for all.
Warm regards,
Edith Epstein, President, Concord Orchestra Board
