Summer 2021 – a gallery
By
David YangAfter marinating indoors for the better part of a year and a half, we’ve all been desperate for live music. Et voilà – this summer, every concert sold out.
This summer I will occasionally post conversations with the artists who were scheduled to come to Newburyport this summer. Some will be participating in our “quartet caroling” but others weren’t able to make it due to covid-19.
