“Music is the electric earth in which the spirit lives, thinks, invents.”
—Beethoven
Beethoven felt that “divine” inspiration comes to fruition when given voice in the “electric” language of music. Electric Earth Concerts honors his idea that music is fertile ground for the spirit. At the heart of the organization is a desire to make music in an environment alive and open to creative discovery for both performer and audience.
Electric Earth Concerts was founded in January, 2012 by Artistic Directors Laura Gilbert and Jonathan Bagg, and Miki Osgood.
The mission of Electric Earth Concerts is twofold:
A. To present affordable concerts of the highest quality in the Monadnock Region and beyond, that will animate, elevate and educate both mind and spirit, and that will freely explore music’s connections to the other arts.
B. To bring music’s enriching and therapeutic power free of charge to schools, homes for people with disabilities, and other groups whose members cannot easily attend public concerts.
