2007 Anderson Fund concert


This year's Advanced Independent Chamber Music class gave a concert tonight in HMS's Big Room. Works of Saint Saens, Dvorak, Vivaldi, Prokofiev, and Bach were performed by Sophie Abrahams-Dematte (violin), Michiko Takahashi (violin) and Henry Lewers (piano), all from the class of '08.

A chamber music concert given by HMS students to benefit the Anderson Fund took place in the spring of 2006. This year's chamber music students sought to build on last year's efforts. HMS seems to have another tradition in the making here.

Congratulations to Sophie, Michiko, and Henry!

CDs of the concert are on sale now. These CDs (as well as CDs of last year's concert with Townsend Gregg and Henry Lewers) may be purchased at the High Mowing School Store for $10, or they can be sent to you (shipping included) by sending a check for $15 per CD made out to "The David Anderson Music Fund" to Elise MacDonald at High Mowing School, 222 Isaac Frye Highway, Wilton, NH 03086.

HMS Music Students perform for elders


Holding true to our tradition of the past several years, HMS chamber music students and chorus members have been performing, over the past few weeks, for residents at assisted living centers close to the school. Summerhill in Peterborough, the Pillsbury Home in Milford, and Friendship Manor in New Ipswich have hosted our musicians.

The performances are always popular --- the centers' activity directors simply rave about HMS's musicians!

HMS Music Department Party 2007



Many HMS music students got together for a cookout at Elise's house this afternoon. We had a great time! (Pictured: epic board game and equally epic hackey sack match!)
