This concert is presented in memory of Larry Drouin, a beloved music educator in the Beverly, Massachusetts public schools for 36 years, as well as a talented musician and longtime, very active member of the Maple Street Church. Upon his passing three years ago, his wife Judy established a fund in his memory, and it was her wish that these monies be used for special events that would celebrate Larry's life-long dedication to music. Donation boxes for cash and checks will be available for contributions to sustain the fund to present future concerts.
