Concerts range from classical chamber and light classical music to spirited bands and are satisfying for their virtuosity and musical joy. During a single season it is possible to hear music for orchestra, voice, or chorale, chamber music featuring woodwinds, piano, strings, or percussion, and so much more. Musical styles run the gamut from classical to contemporary composers too numerous to list. In each case, the unique concert spaces Nantucket has to offer assure special musical experiences. If the study of a musical instrument interests you, or you finally want to take that step toward developing your voice, the Island's music schools and workshops provide quality instruction and performance experience.
Programs are available both for adults and children at all levels of ability and accomplishment.
The year-round schedule of teaching programs includes private and group lessons in voice, brass, guitar, organ, piano, recorder, strings, and woodwinds. A summer band and string camps offer opportunities for those seeking a more concentrated focus. In addition to its many musical offerings, the Island boasts four theatre companies whose wide range of productions carries the emotions through heart wrenching drama, touching romance, hilarious comedy, intellectual farce, and even a little mystery. One drama might offer distinguished acting on stage in a professional theatre. Another more casual theatre encounter might take place in a delightful garden setting.
