Twenty years of Music Education
and Enrichment Programming!



Tomorrow's players and audiences

Beyond our summer Festival programming, the NHMF presents music education and enrichment programming directly to New Hampshire's school children throughout the academic year.  These programs feature artist educators of the same world-class caliber as the musicians that make up the Festival Orchestra. over the last 20 years, NHMF's music education and enrichment programming has reached more than 50,000 students.


Music in Our Schools


  In 1992, Bank of America became the primary sponsor of the Music in Our Schools program. This series brings a variety of hand-selected performing ensembles to elementary schools throughout the state, presenting the vast diversity of musical expression, and giving young children a hands-on experience with professional performers in an intimate and engaging setting. In 2011, thirty concerts were performed for public elementary school children in grades K-5 in fifteen communities, including Concord, Dover, Keene, Manchester, Nashua, Portsmouth and Salem.

 

 

 Visiting Artist Program

In 1994, NHMF began working with the Laconia public schools to develop a program aimed at fostering musical appreciation of and participation. The NHMF Visiting Artist Program brings brilliant young musicians to Lakes Region public schools. During each residency week, teaching artists present lectures, demonstrations and master classes, performing and interacting with students in classrooms and large group settings. Each artist then performs a free community concert. In 2011, these concerts welcomed more than 600 adults and children.
