Join Lyra musicians in more intimate presentations of chamber works! These are programs devised by our players and represent music that is near and dear to their hearts, and we hope you will enjoy experiencing it as much as we enjoy presenting it to you. Each concert will be performed in Rochester at Mount Olive Lutheran Church on Thursday evenings. For a more relaxed atmosphere, join us at a Friday noontime concert at The Baroque Room in the Lowertown district of St. Paul.
