Springfest – NH Concert & Symphonic Bands

The Eastman Community Music School is proud to present Springfest, a 10-day series of concerts and recitals being performed by students of every ensemble! 

This performance will feature the combined efforts of the New Horizons Concert & Symphonic Bands, in the Eastman School of Music’s Kodak Hall.

The New Horizons Program began in 1991 at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY under the guidance of Roy Ernst, now Professor Emeritus from that school. Since that time, the idea has been adopted throughout the U. S. and in Canada, resulting in the forming of more than 200 organizations. While New Horizons was designed in particular for senior adults, there is no minimum or maximum age or ability requirement. All are welcome, especially beginners. Members include those with little or no experience, those who have postponed participating in an ensemble due to career and family, and seasoned musicians. All agree that New Horizons is a community of music-makers flourishing in a non-competitive, collaborative, and supportive environment.
