On the horizon in 2015 is Si Dice in Italia, an opera by NH composer Lawrence Siegel, with performances in NH and in Italy (audience invited!). We will share more about this exciting undertaking with you as planning proceeds.
Electric Earth is fueled by gifts from music lovers like you. Our first two seasons brought 30 concerts and 21 outreach performances, for a total of 51 events. We partner with group homes for the disabled, rehabilitation centers, schools and philanthropic charities. These have had inspiring mutual rewards: with each visit, EEC musicians and residents forge stronger bonds of friendship around the shared experience of the music’s power.
