 Summer music! There's nothing like it. It's a time to be enjoying the great atmosphere of Tanglewood, a lively outdoor band concert, or beautiful acoustic melodies in a small café.
I hope you can stop by as we are making music, and hear the sounds of teachers, students, parents coming and going, enjoying rehearsals and lessons at the Grafton Town House.
The board and staff, along with dedicated volunteers, are tirelessly committed to music and theatre arts education, and driving the goal of raising funds by the fall of 2014 to pay for the restoration of theGrafton Town House as a performance arts center. We are on our way to meeting our goal to begin the interior build-out by 2015! We need the support of every member of our community more than ever, in this critical time. Watch for, and participate, in upcoming fundraising events for the Town House!
Check out these great musical concerts and events for you and your family to visit this summer!
