THE NORTHSHORE TRADITIONAL MUSIC SOCIETY (NSTMS)
Based in Covington, LA, we're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit which promotes traditional music through education, inspiring performances, and opportunities for professional and amateur musicians to make music together in non-commercial settings.
Our hope is that through these efforts, music-making will be more broadly accessible and the social fabric of our community will be strengthened.
