I hope you are safe and healthy. As you know, your final project is due by October 20. Normally, this project would consist of you attending a concert and then writing a concert report based on your experience. However, due to the ongoing pandemic, you are not required to attend an event in person. Instead, you are to watch a full, unedited concert online that fulfills the requirements and then write about that, as if you were there. If you are having trouble finding an event, here are several links that contain acceptable streams/concerts for this project:City Music Foundation: http://www.citymusicfoundation.org (Links to an external site.)

If you choose something on your own, that’s fine too – just make sure it conforms to the guidelines I’ve posted for the project, and run it by me for approval.
