Lyrica Boston, a chamber orchestra with several Lincoln residents, is offering “Music-Grams” of 30–60 minutes to bring live music to the doorsteps of Boston-area residents and organizations while still keeping everyone safe.
“It’s really for people that could use a pick-me-up,” said violin/viola player Laura Bossert of Lincoln, noting that the group has performed on the lawn of a woman who had recently had surgery, as well as nursing homes and assisted living facilities. “People are going through such a hard time, and we just wanted to offer some positive to send out.”
The series is also committed to bringing music to culturally underserved youth, the elderly, and those with special needs. Other Lincolnites in the group are Laura’s mother Muriel (piano), Tyler James (cello), and Jeffrey Cua (violin/viola).
Music-Grams feature solo musicians, duos, trios, or quartets. There is no charge but donations are appreciated. Click here to order. For those who are interested but aren’t in the area or don’t have a socially distanced outdoor space, the group will send a performance via YouTube. They’re also planning a concert on Farrar Pond on October 18 where attendees can listen on land or aboard their boat; click here for more information.
