Description
This opportunity provides funding to support music education in New Hampshire's public primary and secondary schools, with a focus on light classical music and voice. Grants are intended to enhance school music departments and voice programs, supporting activities such as musical instruction, equipment purchases, field trips, concerts, performances (including music licensing, professional assistance, and show rights), and related programming. Preference is given to projects that reflect the fund's emphasis on light classical genres (e.g., waltzes of Johann Strauss, works of Gilbert and Sullivan, symphonies, and operettas).
