Please join us for our annual public concert. Our purpose is to share our love of music-making with you and to raise money for scholarships that we give to graduating seniors at Lexington High School. The High School music faculty choose recipients who have not only shown great talent and outstanding achievement during their years at LHS, but will also be continuing their music studies after graduation.
Sunday, March 23, 2025 3:00 pm
Follen Church, 755 Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington, MA (EAST Lexington) near the intersection of 4 & 225, and Mass Ave.
Program Coordinator: Shaylor Lindsay
We are extremely honored to have last year’s scholarship recipients performing in this concert. Please enjoy pieces by soprano Isabelle Baron and violinist Pei-shiuan Lin.
