There may even be a chance for YOU - the house concert-goer - to join in on the music making with some audience participation :-)

We're located less than a 10 minute walk from the Forest Hills T stop. We're also on a private drive so free parking is available!

Betsy Hinkle, violin
James Dargan, violin/baritone

Also, there is free street parking (despite what the road signs say). The home is also home to two cats so please bring any allergy meds if you need.
