Friends of Sounds of Lyons, Long time no see! In FB terms, it's been too long indeed. SOL 2015 was a beautiful and memorable collaboration with The Clarifier Dedication, a true testimony of community strengths, spirit, and artistry. SOL 2016 will be another fun-for-all event in collaboration with Art on the River on August 28. Here is a picture from the Farmette with the Sage Quartet, circa 2010. Stay tuned! We'll fill you in with lots more exquisite stuff!
