The Lynn Music Foundation and the Demakes Family YMCA are joining forces to launch the YMCA Live Performance Series, harmonizing their efforts to enhance the musical landscape for the community.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the YMCA of Metro North recognized the need to broaden its music studio offerings to better engage local youth in Lynn. A dedicated committee was formed to secure funding and explore impactful partnerships.

In response to this initiative, the YMCA connected with the Lynn Music Foundation, leading to a collaborative effort to enrich the city’s cultural scene.

To celebrate this exciting partnership and the expansion of the music studio, the organizations are proudly presenting the Live Performance Series, showcasing their commitment to fostering musical talent and community engagement.
