Cape Cod Conservatory
Art in Harmony
 Winter/Spring 2010
Greetings!
 
We are very excited about Spring arriving at the Conservatory. Besides the anticipation of the thaw from the winter blues, we have many exciting programs and events planned and hope that you will be a part of them.
 
Our exceptional faculty and their finest students are conducting a series of concerts through the Spring. Several of them will be held on campus in conjunction with our Art and Harmony Series where, in addition to musical performances, there will be new art exhibits and opportunities to meet  artists and enjoy refreshments at post-concert receptions. Most performances have no direct fee associated with them but simply an offering of your choice.
 
In addition, we will be performing all over the Cape bringing music to a variety of venues. The concerts feature faculty and student soloists to ensembles that range from Orchestra to Jazz.
 
Finally, we have landed what will be an incredible exhibit and performance when Tom Reyes comes to Falmouth with his Performance Art program called Visible Sound.
 
We look forward to welcoming you on campus to see the wonderful development that is happening in our arts education community.
  
Sincerely,
 
Kevin M. Howard
