Today, we're celebrating two recent performances , one of our long-standing community partners. Inglis House is committed to redefining ability & independence, providing a range of medical, personal, and enrichment services that enable residents to live life to the fullest.

Recently, Astral guitarist Hao Yang and Astral violinist Julian Rhee (accompanied by Chelsea Wang) had the pleasure of connecting with and sharing their love of music with the welcoming Inglis House residents through a short performance and assisted Q&A.

We're so grateful for our partnership with Inglis and the meaningful relationships we've cultivated.

Big shoutout to the team that helps put on these musical experiences at Inglis--Jacklyn Bokunwicz, Steve Cozzolini, and Mer Clemente! ❤️
