A Grand (and Grateful) Reopening:
Celebrate with Us on May 5 & 6!
 After a burst pipe caused water damage in their usual rehearsal space, The Scholarship Folk Ensemble relocated their weekly meetings to a private lesson room (photo at right). The room was small, but the music was still mighty!
But thanks to Meridian Construction, SMP Architecture, and your support and volunteer efforts, we are nearing the last phase of reconstruction.
This May, join us to see our "new" digs and celebrate at our annual Anniversary Weekend, which coincides with the city-wide Capital Arts Fest!

Furie Terribili: Heights and Depths of Handel's Opera Featured in Faculty Concert
 In a visually rich and musically wide-ranging evening of opera, the Musicians of Wall Street performed works from Handel's
Rinaldo on April 7.
The world of Rinaldo is one of dragons, sirens, a raging sea, a utopian garden, flying spirits, an enchanted palace, monsters, and a treacherous mountain that stands in love's way. The performance included seven fully staged and costumed arias from the opera, along with beautiful instrumental works propelling the dramatic arc of the story.
This dynamic evening featured Andrea Veal, soprano; Steven Lundahl, recorder; Bozena O'Brien, violin; Kate Jensik, cello; and Kathryn Southworth, harpsichord and piano, all members of the Concord Community Music School's faculty.

A Medley of Mandolins: Mandolin Festival Brings Musicians from Near and Far
From Brazilian choro music to Bach partitas, from the Grateful Dead to dance tunes, the 15th Annual March Mandolin Festival stretched the stylistic range of the small but mighty mandolin.
Featuring a packed schedule of workshops and a sold-out evening concert, the weekend drew attendees and performers from as near as Concord and as far as Italy.
On faculty for the weekend were Italian classical mandolinist Carlo Aonzo, multi-genre mandolin master Tim Connell, New England's own Steve Roy, and Concord Community Music School Folk Department chair and multi-instrumentalist David Surette. Folk singer and guitarist Susie Burke joined the mandolin party for the Saturday night concert.
