Up next: The Inside Story

Each piece of music has its own story. Journey deep inside these three contrasting works, each with its own tale to tell. Beethoven's Symphony No. 8 in F major is at once his most effervescent and intimate symphony, a portrait of himself. Barber's beloved and lush Violin Concerto has a moving history, and reunites virtuoso Irina Muresanu - who wowed audiences last season - with the NSO, this time under the baton of guest conductor Jonathan McPhee. Weinstein's crystalline Chamber Symphony will take you to the heart of the NSO itself. MORE »

Nash Soloist Fund: Help keep great soloists coming to Nashua!

Last year, in honor of Maestro Royston Nash's retirement after 21 years at the helm of this wonderful organization, we introduced the ROYSTON NASH SOLOIST FUND dedicated to bringing exceptional artists to Nashua. As a result, the fund is making possible the return of violinist Irina Muresanu to play Samuel Barber's Violin Concerto on March 15. Our community of donors makes this happen. Your gift makes this happen. Like most professional orchestras, ticket sales make up less than 30% of our revenue; the largest portion of the rest comes from contributions from caring individuals like you.

Your support is essential to the success of this fund. Even a gift of $21 (that's just one dollar for each of Royston's extraordinary seasons with us) is a simple yet powerful way for the community to help keep Royston's legacy going - and the great soloists coming!

I hope you will join me, and all your fellow music-lovers, in making a generous gift to the Royston Nash Soloist Fund.

DONATE NOW!

Thank you,


Eric Valliere
Executive Director
Nashua Symphony Association

Special thanks

FANFARE 2008 a big success! This year's benefit auction/dinner event was our most successful yet, raising over $50,000 to support the NSA's performances and educational programs. Attendees raved about jazz chanteuse Dominique Eade, whose performance with the Allan Chase Quartet was truly magical. Special thanks to Zebulon Brundage, who chaired this year's FANFARE committee, and all the staff, volunteers and donors both on and off the Board who made this event possible.
