Those who want to enjoy an ~extremely pleasant~ evening of music and friendship should join Groupmuse, a social-media platform that connects classical musicians with people who want to get tipsy while listening to live classical music in a random person’s beautiful apartment.
The concerts are cozy: shoes off, a violin and a cello playing Bach in the living room, Trader Joe’s snacks dominating the snack table, amiable young professionals getting wine-drunk with music nerds, and a fuzzy black Lab puppy named Randall sniffing around for cuddles.
Or at least that was my experience at a Groupmuse hosted by Kelly Elder, a 28-year-old attorney who invited 15 people and two musicians into her gorgeous peach-brick corner apartment in Eastlake last Saturday.
