MESA Spring Concert for The Lynx Project – APR 2022

This is a video recording of a virtual fundraising concert put on by NAFME UIUC Chapter and UIUC MESA benefiting the Lynx Project. The concert includes poetry written by Garden Center Services program participants, Victoria and Toni who are a part of Garden Center’s poetry writing group with the Lynx Project. 

You can listen to their works performed by University of Illinois students at 16:00 and 20:16, respectively, but definitely take some time to listen to the entire event which features beautiful musical performances of works through LYNX’s Amplify Series – Amplifying diverse voices through new song commissions.
