By American standards, Boston is old! You can walk cobbled streets lit by gas lamps and visit sites integral to the American Revolution. This is the city of Paul Revere, Sam Adams, John Hancock and Elizabeth "Mother" Goose. By day, see a reenactment of the Boston Tea Party or a game by the Red Sox, and at night attend a concert by the Boston Symphony or the Pops. Retrace Revere's ride to Concord and Lexington, or go to Salem to visit the House of Seven Gables and the Witch Museum. Have a memorable seafood dinner at historic Gloucester or Rockport on Cape Ann.
Imagine your group performing at Quincy Marketplace, learning in a workshop at the New England Conservatory or at Symphony Hall, participating in a service at Old North Church, playing pierside at the USS Constitution, or entertaining the lunch crowd at Copley Square. Perhaps your musicians would enjoy an impromptu recital at the John F. Kennedy Museum or on the Grand Staircase of the Massachusetts State House.
The National Festival of the States can make these possible for your performing ensemble. Participating groups are chosen on the basis of recommendation from state and national music educators, governors' and senators' offices and by audition. Selected groups perform in prestigious venues with maximum audience potential.
Everyone should experience Boston - and the very best performing groups can, through the expertise of Music Celebrations International!
