We didn't want to miss an entire season due to COVID so we asked a number of musicians who have been featured in previous concerts to record a song that we could present as part of a spring virtual concert series. As each performer chose their repertoire, we asked them to choose a piece that represented inspiration to them; this is the theme that ties the series together.

If you’d like to receive the series via email please click here to become a subscriber. If you are so inclined to support these efforts financially, click here to donate to the Ed Ward Fine Arts Series. We look forward to sharing news of next year's season with you in the coming months!
