This two-minute delight is in response to my question at the end of a chiro session, "Can you hum that first lovely phrase of Mozart's Ave Verum? It's been running through my head all day." She said, "Get Fred," and here is the private concert I enjoyed!
😃
Lydia and I met in 2002 at an invitational year-long Women-Healing-Women program at Harvard Divinity School. There I learned that she also performed as a soloist with a renowned early music group—and had grown up in the friendship circle of my very first mentor, Narcissa Williamson, Keeper of Early Instruments at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Narcissa left this world in 1986, and I’ve always regarded Lydia as one of her great gifts to me.
