Creating Community Now in its 34th year, Indian Hill Music is a thriving regional non-profit center for music education and performance, and community outreach. We are motivated by the belief that music inspires our hearts and minds, encourages the growth and development of the whole person, and is integral to the lives of everyone we serve. • Our Community Music School offers lessons in 30+ instruments and voice for all ages in all musical styles – from classical and jazz to rock, roots, and pop. Whether you want to perform on stage, ace an audition, or play for your own personal development and enjoyment, we are here to help you grow as a musician. • Indian Hill Music’s professional performance season is anchored by concerts of the critically-acclaimed, 70-member Orchestra of Indian Hill, led by Artistic Director and Conductor, Bruce Hangen. We also present live concerts by celebrated contemporary performers in jazz, world music, and bluegrass as well as outstanding professional chamber ensembles and soloists. • We believe that everyone should have the chance to participate in music! That’s why we invested over $125,000 last year in need-based student scholarships, free community events, free and low-cost educational programs for high-need public schools, free monthly concerts for seniors, and services like our unique Threshold Singers bedside choir for those in hospice care. These programs serve some 6,500+ people in 79 communities in our region. The programs of Indian Hill Music are supported in part by a grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency, and INDIAN HILL MUSIC 2019 – 2020 SEASON with funds from the council administered by the Local Cultural Councils. 9 Looking to the Future: Construction is well underway on our future world-class music education and performance center. Set on a stunning landscape in Groton, Massachusetts, the concert experience in our acoustically superb 1000-seat concert hall and 300-seat performance hall will be second to none. We are excitedly anticipating our opening in 2022, when we will bring you even more vibrant music experiences, designed to educate, energize, and enrich our communities. Concept Rendering © Epstein Joslin Architects 10 Welcome to Indian Hill Music Greetings, friends! Recently, we at Indian Hill Music engaged in deep discussions about who we are and what makes us a truly unique organization. Through this process, we were delighted (though not surprised) to discover that the values each of us associates with Indian Hill Music are remarkably consistent. We thought we would share with you what was reaffirmed as a result of this valuable exercise: A Community of Excellence Open to All We maintain the highest standards in music education and performance in a stimulating and inspiring environment. A Feeling of Home We are a warm, welcoming community where everyone is accepted, respected, and valued. Vibrant Experiences We energize and enrich lives through extraordinary musical experiences. Personal Growth We elevate people’s lives by offering opportunities to explore, create, flourish, and achieve their goals. Meaningful Connections We provide multiple pathways to music that encourage social interaction and create a sense of belonging. Giving Music Generously We make music accessible to all through philanthropic community engagement. Responsible Stewardship We are committed to caring for the resources entrusted to us and making prudent decisions regarding our organization to ensure a strong future. What is the key take-away from all this? As we look ahead to a future when Indian Hill Music will be a much larger and more diverse regional music destination, who we are will not change. This is the constant that has brought us this far, 34 years since our founding. These values will continue to guide our decisions, our relationships, and our commitment to you and everyone in the Indian Hill Music family, now and when we open our doors in Groton in three short years. We are grateful for the part each of you plays in embracing and perpetuating Indian Hill Music’s core values. And we look forward to an outstanding season ahead—of learning, listening, and sharing music with each other!
