Summer vacation started with a splash of music at the Monroe Senior Housing on North Main Street. Students of Viktor Prizgintas and Lise Lindros performed selections by Bach and Vivaldi. “I heard about this wonderful opportunity to play from a former student Max Herskowitz who started this music series along with his dad here at the center back in May," says Viktor. "He was looking for other performers and asked Lise and I if we might be interested in performing”. Viktor and Lise have been teaching in the Monroe-Woodbury area for nearly 40 years, so asking their help was a natural choice.

Monroe-Woodbury students Jack Sheehy (viola), Oliver Jibb (viola), and Valerie Taveras (violin) all performed and introduced themselves to their audience. “Performing is only part of our visit so we take a little time to introduce each student and start a conversation with the residents” explains Lise Lindros. “It’s really nice to reveal the person behind each instrument.”
