In an attempt to offer hope, light and beauty in a difficult time, Medford composer and conductor Oliver Caplan presents another of his weekly Wednesday night live-streamed solo performances featuring members of his contemporary chamber music group, Juventas New Music Ensemble. Performing this week will be violin player Ryan Shannon. A graduate of the New England Conservatory, Shannon is an educator and a member of Palaver Strings, as well as an explorer of new music with Juventas New Music Ensemble.

Visit the Juventas ensemble’s Facebook page promptly at 8 p.m. to enjoy the performance, which is free and open to all. The series continues every Wednesday night through May 27.
