Cynthia Livingston
Winsor Music is proud to announce a Memorial and Benefit Concert to honor and celebrate the life of the late Cynthia H. Livingston. Proceeds will be used to establish The Cynthia Community Outreach Fund at Winsor Music. The Cynthia Fund will be used to support Winsor’s programs to engage with and mentor young musicians, perform in local hospitals and retirement homes, and create new works building on themes of community and inclusion. Cynthia firmly believed in Winsor Music’s mission to connect with the greater Boston community through outreach and education, and in the healing power of music and its value in today’s world.
This Concert is sponsored by her husband, Dr. Richard Shader, their family, and by the performing artists who all were Cynthia’s friends and admirers. The concert will include music close to Cynthia’s heart and a premiere of a new work by John Harbison written in celebration of Cynthia. This event is free, however tickets are required and donations are encouraged.
A reception will follow the concert
