Electric Earth Concerts
Great Music All Year Round for the Monadnock Region
Jonathan Bagg & Laura Gilbert, Artistic Directors
On November 1, 2, and 3 EEC brings music, song, and stories into three area schools: Rindge Elementary, Jaffrey Grade School, and ConVal High. Among our area residents are some spectacular musicians: Jazmina MacNeil (Chesham), Nicholas Burns, and Louisa Stonehill (Keene) joined Jonathan Bagg for a week devoted to outreach–5 concerts in all.
Also visited: Crotched Mountain Rehabilitation Center, and Lukas Community in Temple.
Electric Earth has been awarded a grant from the State Arts Council! We are thrilled to have this generous support from our home state. A General Projects grant will help us to reach hundreds of schoolchildren in their classes, as well as residents of several life-sharing and special needs communities in our area. The State grant supplements an award from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) that we received earlier this year.
Jamie gave an energetic and eloquent demonstration of Scottish fiddling traditions for our friends at Plowshare last Friday.
