Mountain Top Concert

On Saturday, March 20, our Art Director Bruce Kennett hosted a concert at his 1810 barn in North Conway, NH. The event was a fundraiser for the local music organization, Mountain Top, which puts on concerts, offers music lessons, and is also very active in the public schools. The Boston-based quartet Brass Venture played to a sold-out crowd, presenting a wide program of music from Bach, Gabrielli, Hindemith and Scheidt to W.C. Handy and John Williams. The performers stood on a second-story hayloft and played toward a full house seated on the first floor and on an adjacent balcony. With its vast, reverberant open space, Bruce's barn was the ideal venue for the quartet's trumpets, trombones, and tubas.
