Welcome to HLS! The HLS Chamber Music Society is a network of musicians at HLS and in the Harvard community. We aim to create a community of music-loving people and to provide opportunities for people to maintain their musical interests amidst the rigors of school. We are here as a resource for you, to help you find other musicians, to put you in contact with people and groups seeking musicians, and to inform you of musical events that may be of interest to you.
Our advice to all of you as you start law school is to keep doing something you love during your 1L year (and beyond!). Whether it’s playing music or something else that brings you joy, do something that will give you perspective as you navigate this crazy year. We found that continuing to play music helped us bring a bit of balance to our hectic 1L lives. It might feel like you don’t have time for it, but you’d be surprised how staying healthy and balanced can actually make you more productive in your work.
Feel free to contact us with any questions about musical life at HLS — you can find us at the student orgs fair or send an email to our presidents, Amy Chyao (achyao@jd19.law.harvard.edu) and me, Mary Goetz, (mgoetz@jd19.law.harvard.edu). We look forward to meeting you!
