INTRODUCTION AND MISSION
Musical traditions develop and are sustained when and where music making is woven into the social fabric of a community. The Northshore Traditional Music Society endeavors to help neighbors enjoy and make music together. “Music of the people, by the people, for the people'' encapsulates this vision to see music making “democratized” on the Northshore and beyond.
OBJECTIVES AND PROGRAMS
Our programs are intended to accomplish three objectives: (1) to inspire through concerts; (2) to gather for music making; and (3) to educate.
Inspire: Hearing a master artist perform can ignite the imagination and inspire the heart of a musician. NSTMS works to present, in concert, masters of traditional music. In 2023, NSTMS produced seven concerts and one dance featuring nationally and internationally celebrated artists.
Gather: Making music with others and performing before an audience are experiences that knit people together and develop musicianship. NSTMS provides opportunities for people to gather for music making in a friendly and supportive environment. In 2023, NSTMS organized over 50 monthly jams, sessions and open mic events.
Educate: The opportunity to learn from another musician is an important ingredient for artistic growth. NSTMS is working with seasoned musicians and music educators in our community to provide this experience. In 2023, NSTMS partnered with Northshore Strings to produce the Northshore Fiddle Camp, staffed the monthly Irish Session and Jazz Jam with professional musician facilitators and hosted various workshops led by master artists.
