We regularly present programs free to the public at libraries and other community venues. These are often lecture - demonstrations, providing an opportunity to casually meet concert artists, learn about their musical interests, and hear them perform. These events have been held at each of San Jose's branch public libraries. We have also been featured on public television and radio broadcasts.
