We’ve just been notified that our “Open Doors” project will receive funding from the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts, in their General Projects category. This is the third year that Open Doors has been honored by this support, which goes toward free concerts at community learning spaces that are targeted specifically to family audiences. These concerts are for families to experience together and are meant to evoke in new listeners the excitement, appreciation, and even reverence, that can accompany hearing powerful music-making in a concert setting. We believe that early experiences such as these can be crucial to developing a young person’s desire to seek out live music as a form of artistic engagement later in life.
