Great News!
The Musicians of the New Hampshire Music Festival are pleased to announce that their long-time, much-loved Music Director and Conductor Paul Polivnick (recently named "Conductor Laureate" of the NHMF) will be returning to lead the orchestra for three weeks in the summer of 2012.
The Musicians would like to thank those who worked so hard and gave so much to ensure the survival of one of the world’s finest summer festival orchestras.
The NHMF Board is currently in the process of developing a financial plan to ensure the long term health of the Festival. Musicians of the NHMF request that our supporters bring that same energy to help restore the NHMF’s solid financial footing for this and future seasons. Please consider giving a generous donation and if you know anyone who could help in any way, get them involved, too.

, Interim Executive Director.
We look forward to seeing you in 2012 for a summer of extraordinary music-making!
Dear Friends,
When I took over the reins from my esteemed predecessor, Tom Nee, I observed the positive spiritual and professional culture that he had fostered for more than three decades.
During my eighteen years at the helm, I made it my mission to maintain and develop that culture while continually raising the bar artistically.
As a result, the working atmosphere at the New Hampshire Music Festival is as close to an ideal scene as I can imagine thanks to the talent, camaraderie, and unified sense of purpose shared by the fine musicians who come there year after year.
But the lasting effect of this culture is the community that has developed around the Festival, led by the public that adores “their orchestra.” That is the big story of the Festival’s continued success.
This summer, I’m returning to our Festival. Will you?
Join me in celebration of the last sixty years - and in preparation for the next sixty - through a contribution to the 2011 Annual Fund.
Sincerely,
Paul Polivnick, Conductor Laureate
