2020-2021Â
"Virtual" Season
​
As we navigate a new normal, Ensemble Lyrae explores how we can connect to our audiences in a safe way, whether through virtual events and forums, socially distant concerts, or simply sharing some of our most beloved music through archived recordings.
We know that the power of music reaches beyond the limitations we currently face. We know that there will always be a place for finding peace, comfort and inspiration in beautiful music, meaningful messages and thoughtful words.Â
The DL with EL Series
​
​
​
The Down-Low with Ensemble Lyrae Series,
(dubbed the "The DL with EL"), will be a set of live, virtual chats in which we hope to connect more deeply in conversation with our audiences about our own experiences and theirs.
