Against all odds, Music from Poplar Hill - the Jo Ricks Music Series presented its inaugural events in the fall of 2020, under the artistic direction of Eliza Garth. With extreme care, social distancing, small audiences, windows open, an outdoor tent, low COVID numbers in the county, and the state and local governments permitting small gatherings, the concerts went forward - and were a hit, with COVID-capacity attendance. A short (20’) video has just been completed about these remarkable events; for more info visit www.musicfrompoplarhill.org
