THANK YOU to all the String musicians from the Boston area who recently collected and delivered accessories for the benefit of the orchestra students to the St. Lucia School of Music. When the delivery arrived it felt like Christmas! Unstrung celli were instantly repaired and immediately put to use. Rosin was distributed to grateful students with slippery bows. Shoulder rests have been finding their way to rest on young shoulders across the island.
An extra special thank you to David and Sharon for coordinating the collection effort and also to Johnson Strings in Newton for their generous donations and support. Thank you to Irving for transporting all the items safely across the ocean and spending meaningful time with the students here.
If anyone knows a luthier who is in need of a Caribbean vacation, please let me know! Because of the humidity, most bows are slack. We would welcome someone who arrives with a handful of horsehair with room and board and an island of grateful customers.
