“Our most honored guests: Early music for children with special needs.”

Assai Ad Libitum is a trio consisting of fortepiano (Patricia García Gil), period violin (Sophie Genevieve Lowe), and period cello (Ryan Lowe).

This project, awarded with an Inclusion Diversity Equity and Accessibility grant from the Visual and Performing Arts School at UNCG, aims to inspire young students with special needs in the Greensboro area to have an encounter with early music with a free and disability accessible concert, especially aimed to those who have little access to music. The ensemble will provide an up-close encounter for the students with the instruments and tell fascinating stories about overlooked composers after due training to adapt the experience to the students from the Lionheart Academy of the Triad (serving students with autism).
