LSM Digital Highlight Reel: Volume 2

In what would have begun the third week of LSM 2020, where our community would be engrossed in the afterglow of a great Half Session concert, invigorating rehearsals for the upcoming Bach Cantata, and an impending inspirational student field trip, we are instead inspired and encouraged by the LSM Faculty who have found creative ways to engage LSM students and our entire community. Thanks to the incredible online engagement from LSM’s dedicated teaching artists, the greater LSM community can learn together in a new way.
