Sharing new music for you to enjoy at home!

Summer Greetings!
As the flowers of spring have opened and we've entered into the warm month of June, we wanted to send you greetings—in both word and song!

Below, please find links to your own personal concert. Find your favorite comfortable spot inside, or on the patio in your garden, and allow us to welcome you into our home studios as we share some favorites.
 
We have been busy making plans for our 2020–21 season, and are excited about the repertoire we have been discussing. We will share details with you as soon as we have a better sense of our ability to provide live, in-person concerts safely.

Thank you for your continued support! We wish you good health as we all navigate these times and look forward to the days when we will enjoy live music together again!
 
Sincerely,
 
Kathy, Florentina, Diana and Judy
