bAROQUE ON BEAVER GOES ONLINE!

​

​

---

​You’ve heard me talk about Baroque on Beaver and how much I enjoy that music festival each year.  Well, the bad news is that COVID-19 has essentially eliminated those classical music concerts on Beaver Island this summer.  The good news, though, is that they are being replaced with virtual events that we can enjoy from home! 
 
I’ve attached the schedule of events to this message so you can see if there’s something that appeals to you.  Wouldn’t it be fun to watch these at the same time so we can be in the audience together, even though we’re apart?
 
I’m planning to attend all the events, and if you’d like to enjoy any of them with me, let me know and I’ll remind you before it happens.  Obviously you don’t need me to tune in, and I think you’ll really enjoy this music and the discussions that surround it. You can find out all about it, and how to tune in through YouTube, at www.baroqueonbeaver.org, and at the Baroque on Beaver Facebook page. 
 
Help us share the joy starting this Friday! Read more for the full schedule here online at the Northern-Islander!
