Worldwide Make Music Day, on June 21, 2020, saw musicians struggling to reinvent the way they reach audiences during the pandemic in a safe socially distanced way. Friends of the Erben Organ live-streamed all of our Erben Organ Days 2020 series, starting with Make Music Day.
Our special day at the Erben featured a recital by Saxophone soloist, Eddie Barbash, with Jared Lamenzo at the Erben, followed by a live-streamed Erben organ lesson and tour with three talented young piano students.
This is a gorgeous program and a great diversion for a Sunday and Father’s Day
