Lyrica Baroque is committed to deepening the understanding of systems of inequity in race, gender, and interpersonal relationships in the arts and the communities where we live and work.

Lyrica Baroque aims to acknowledge practices of bias, exclusion and oppression, and work through this lens to prioritize diverse professional, racial, and economic representation reflective of our community at every level of decision making throughout the organization. This organization is committed to using music, the arts and education to inspire change so that all people – especially those who are marginalized – are safe, secure and thriving.

2023 Annual Report

When tasked with designing Lyrica Baroque’s 2023 Annual Report, I sought to create a visual narrative as harmonious and impactful as the chamber music organization.
