ELLSWORTH, Maine — The Ellsworth Community Music Institute has allowed Mainers to enjoy music from its own musicians by hosting one free virtual concert a month. The goal is to keep everyone connected and for people to disconnect and enjoy a professional performance.
For a year now, the institute's music teachers have kept the learning going through virtual music classes. Many students say the classes, despite being online, are one of their favorite times of the week.
