The Dwelling Place, a shelter for women, is where I did my first community service Performance with two of my fellow OMP students

On Wednesday, April 12th, 2017, I did my first OMP community service. I performed at The Dwelling Place, a shelter for homeless women in NYC. I performed with two OMP girls. We performed different solo pieces as well as one piece as a group. As a trio we performed Andante Festivo, by Jean Sibelius.  The whole performance lasted about 35 minutes.
