Brandi Carlile's accompaniment for "America the Beautiful" before the game last night was SistaStrings. The duo, Chauntee and Monique Ross, played another American anthem, "Lift Every Voice and Sing," on the Library's Stradivarius instruments in 2024.

When your lack of interest in making dinner translates to a delivery or carryout order, you’re really just prioritizing supporting the local economy over your own cooking needs.
