Hello,
I run a small, family business in the area that contracts professional musicians for all kinds of events. We are willing to perform without cost for memorial services, church services, funerals, or any other events honoring the victims of the Newtown tragedy. We can provide a violinist (myself,) which is a nice addition especially if there is already an organist or pianist at the church (or wherever the event is being held.) We may also be able to provide a string duo (violin/cello) or string trio (violin/viola/cello.)
Music can often express feelings that cannot be put into words, and provide comfort when words fail us. We would like to offer up our skills as professional musicians to help comfort our community.
Here is a link to a video example of what we do:

I welcome anyone to get in touch if you might be interested. You can reach Kevin Bishop by phone at 860-839-7049, by email at kevin@goldenscrollsoloists.com, or through our website at www.goldenscrollsoloists.com
All the best to the Newtown community
