[MusicTlk] Looking to Connect with Blind Musicians who Sing or Play in Large Ensembles

[Ella Yu]

Hi Catherine, I am a totally blind amateur violinist, violist, and pianist
from Canada. I have played in ensembles such as orchestras and chamber
ensembles for several years, and I'm happy to meet you. I highly recommend
checking out menvi.org and joining their mailing list. I believe you have
to fill out an application to become a member, but it's good to join.
Hope this helps.
