Local Music Performance and Live Listening Opportunities, October 2022 Edition

Autumn has arrived, and how brisk and beautiful the air feels in Lynchburg, VA! On this 4th Monday of September, as I’m planning to do on the 4th Monday of each month, I’m posting a sampling of local musical happenings for the month to follow. Please note that this is not an exhaustive list; also note that I am not necessarily personally affiliated with events listed below; rather, I’m simply spreading the word of opportunities to perform and to hear live strings in the area. Feel free to include other concerts in the comments; and if you need more info on a particular concert, please comment your question or message me and I’ll be happy to point you toward further information. To see any events where I’m personally performing, please visit the “Music Performance” page of my website. Musically yours, Molly
