About me

I am an active composer, music teacher, and organizer of music events. I share an occasional Music as Meditation concert with listeners and fellow musicians and I organize several concerts of new music each year. I use this blog to tell people about my musical endeavors and as a home for my virtual busking basket.

Six Beautiful Days: Producing a Chamber Music and a Kid's Music and Arts Camp in One Week

 Six Beautiful Days

Producing a Kid's Music and Arts Camp
AND
a World-Class Chamber Music Concert
in 6 Days

    Summers have a way of getting busy, but this one takes the cake. July is quite full of musical activities--to be pursued around the usual July activities of harvesting, planting fall crops, and tending the flax and chickens, not to mention rehabbing a shed into a deep-litter chicken coop for next winter. This post is all about the community music events I'm planning this month.

    First up is Music and Arts Camp in Fryeburg. I and four other teachers, at least two teen helpers, and some willing parents are planning a week-long day camp for kids ages 8-11. Please help us spread the word. It's going to be great fun and no matter what the weather, we will have 5 beautiful days of singing, crafting, playing games, eating lunch together, and generally enjoying the leisure summer has to offer. Please get in touch with me if you know of families who might like to learn about this camp. Read more about it here.


    As if camp wasn't enough fun, I get to produce a concert of chamber music played by world-class musicians in Fryeburg on July 22. You can read more about that concert here


    The impetus is for all this musical and artistic fun is that people asked me to help with these resources, and I said yes. So if there is a community music event YOU wish to have available, please talk to me. I might be able to help you bring it into reality.
