Concerts in Our Schools

A live performance and demonstration of the instruments far surpasses anything I could do alone in the classroom.

The Boston Opera Group did a magnificent job of introducing to our students the joys, values, and appreciation of opera. Their unique approach to sharing opera with young people ... allowed our students to recognize at an early age how and why many people throughout the world enjoy opera as much as they do.

Since 2003, Concerts at the Point has taken music into area schools, using experienced musicians who design lively interactive programs. These educational programs feature musicians who have performed in our concert series, as well as others with a particular talent for working with young audiences.

During the 2009-2010 academic year, nearly 3,000 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade attended musical presentations in the Westport, Little Compton, and Fall River schools. Performers included Strata, New England String Ensemble, Cantabrigia Brass Quintet, Infinities, and Sandy Keifer's "Talking Cello."
