It's a new year with firsts! Our Solo and ensemble list has been updated by Lauren Churchill and Amy Ranta. Our 2024 Concert Festival was held at at the Boxboro Regency, Boxborough, MA with our 97th anniversary festival concert at Mechanics Hall! The festival featured the entire event enclosed in one location for the first time - rehearsing, eating, and housing, as well as our first NEMFA Jazz Ensemble. And it's our first time at Mechanics Hall! We have kicked off "NEMFA 100: 1927-2027" for the next four years! Come join us and see what we are about!
