Music for a Great Space (MGS) to feature the world renowned Borromeo String Quartet for first annual Music for a Great Cause concert.
The Music for a Great Cause concert was established as a way for MGS to give back to the Greensboro community. This event will feature an all day collaboration between MGS, the Borromeo String Quartet, and Sanctuary House.
The event will begin with a private performance by the Borromeo String Quartet for the Sanctuary House members in the morning. In the evening, the quartet will perform on the MGS concert series featuring works of Bach and Beethoven. The day will conclude with a post-concert reception hosted by A Sweet Success Bakery. The reception will allow MGS audiences, Sanctuary House guests, and the Borromeo String Quartet members the opportunity to interact and celebrate the events of the day. Sanctuary House Executive Director Jodi Lorenzo-Schibley said, “We are very excited about this collaboration and exploring the ways that music can affect and impact our members and the community at large.”
