Programs
August 2020 Concert - Adrian Durov & Sherry Shieh. Due to the COVID 19 Pandemic, and the subsequent suspension of all entertainment in the State of New York, this was our first performance of the season, for which we also applied for a grant for additional funds via Roxbury Arts Group - the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Grant, which we received $2,500.00 Because there were still significant restrictions, we had this as an invitation only performance, which we recorded for others to view at a later date.
