Help Ensemble Lyrae Celebrate Trailblazers!

Donation protected
Hello! We're Ensemble Lyrae! We are only a few hundred dollars away from reaching our goal, and we hope you'll consider supporting our music-making. What will your support do?

Your support helps us to:

  • explore new and creative performance rental spaces
  • support composers and arrangers through legal purchase of music
  • support and compensate collaborative artists (including, and most especially, collaborative pianists for our concerts)
  • broaden our audience range through the purchase of marketing materials
  • commission new works for women's small ensemble
  • produce the highest quality of musical performance possible

Who are we?
Inspired by the natural beauty and brilliance of the constellation Lyra, we are four uniquely and highly talented musicians. While each of us shines as a soloist, together, we form deep connections in performing in any combination of duets, trios or quartets. The four vocalists of Ensemble Lyrae seek to highlight relevant and intriguing themes of our time, as well as illuminate musical works, composers and lyricists or poets often unknown or under-played. We also premiere cutting-edge pieces written specifically for the Ensemble and their remarkable sound.

Whether performing in a spacious concert hall or a more intimate salon-style setting at home, we're a group of captivating Boston-based musicians prepared to enliven the audience's senses, engage their imaginations, and draw them into a world of timeless, beautiful sound.

Ensemble Lyrae has performed on the Music at Norway Pond Concert Series and Music at Whitehead Series and have been invited to perform at Boston Public Library's 'Concert in the Courtyard' summer series in the summer of 2020. We're the recipients of a 2019 Medford Arts Council Grant and Mass Cultural Council Grant, which allowed us to bring our program "Nevertheless, She Persisted" to a private audience at the Medford Council on Aging in June 2019. In December 2022, we were featured performers for 'Christmas at Mechanics' at the famed Mechanics Hall in Worcester, MA.

We hope you'll consider donating to us at any point during our 2023-2024 season. Your support is vital, and we are grateful for whatever you can give!
