Description
In 2023 Lexington Community Education lost an incredible instructor, featured musician, and longtime friend of the program in the person of Robert Rivera. As a musician Robert was equally gifted in his ability to perform and teach on cello and bass guitar. The care and connection he made with his listeners and students to and through music was second to none. From arranging recitals, to talking about music as a metaphor for life, to taking pride in his students as they achieved milestones in music and other pursuits, Robert cared for students in a way that was genuine and will be forever remembered, honored, and missed. In an effort to secure a LHS scholarship fund in Robert’s name, we invite you to a special tribute concert honoring Robert and his life, music, and teaching. The tribute will feature poetry and music performed by friends and former students, and promises to be as uplifting as it is reflective. Donations are welcome and will be accepted at the event and proceeds will go toward the Robert Rivera scholarship to raise money for a permanent scholarship for music or STEM careers for any Lexington school student.
While there is no charge for this tribute event, you are able donate online and at the door.
