Feeling the pangs of pandemic boredom? Try mixing it up with these (mostly virtual) concerts happening in the coming days and weeks. One features new music inspired by victims of police brutality, and another puts a  modern spin on the ancient art of taiko drumming.

Collectively, they’ll help you stretch your musical horizons, and show a little extra love for the local music scene. Most are free, but some venues want viewers to get tickets or RSVP online beforehand.
