From Garages to Porches, Music Keeps Flowing During COVID-19

Julie Taboh

   TAKOMA PARK, MARYLAND - Classical music drifts on the breeze through a
   quiet neighborhood in Takoma Park, Maryland.

   On a side porch at a nearby house, a group of musicians perform as a
   clutch of people lean against trees and sit on stoops, a comfortable
   distance from each other.

   The music, so fitting on this glorious spring day, is coming from the
   Milo Trio, three musicians who've been playing together regularly since
   January of last year.

   Since new'¯social guidelines and mandates'¯have been put in place to
   prevent the spread of the coronavirus, people haven't been able to
   gather in large groups. So, the trio has switched from concert halls to
   the outdoors, to share the music they love to play with friends, family
   and neighbors, and visitors online.
