About the Community Partner
The Children’s Dyslexia Centers applies a science of reading-based, structured language approach to teach literacy. Children are tutored one-on-one twice a week after regular school hours. This allows for the curriculum to be tailored to each individual child, with progress made in small, quantifiable steps. For more than 30 years, Scottish Rite Freemasonry of the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction has partnered with local communities to provide effective reading instruction that improves children’s reading skills and increases their self-esteem.

Corrine Byrne, VOICE
Hailed for her "inimitable delivery" and versatility, Boston and New York-based Grammy® nominated soprano Corrine Byrne has quickly become a sought-after interpreter of repertoire from the Medieval to the Baroque era, and music by today's most daring composers. Byrne has made solo appearances with the Boston Pops, Boston Ballet, the American Classical Orchestra, the Boston Symphony Orchestra Chamber Players, New York Chamber Orchestra at Carnegie Hall, REBEL Baroque Ensemble, Symphony New Hampshire, and Emmanuel Music. Byrne sings regularly with Lorelei Ensemble including on a recently GRAMMY® nominated recording of Chris Cerrone's Beaufort Scales. Byrne sang alongside the Tallis Scholars with the Carnegie Hall Chamber Chorus, Boston Early Music Festival, Lucerne Festival Academy Orchestra, and sings regularly on Emmanuel Music's Bach Cantata series. Byrne is a co-founder of Ensemble Musica Humana and The Byrne:Kozar:Duo, recently featured on NPR and a nationally broadcast episode of American Public Media's Performance Today, and whose recording of 'Bring Something Incomprehensible Into This World' was featured in the New Yorker Magazine's 2017 Notable Recordings. She is featured on Cut Circle's Josquin I: Motets & Chansons, runner up for the 2024 Gramophone Award. Byrne is a member of Beyond Artists, a coalition of artists that donate a percentage of their concert fee to organizations they care about. Byrne supports Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Cares Foundation and South Shore Habitat for Humanity through her performances. She is currently serving as a faculty member at Harvard University's Holden Voice Program and the Longy School of Music at Bard College.
