The Musicians of the NHMF

The website for he Musicians of the New Hampshire Music Festival was created in 2009 to publicize the uproar in the NH Lakes region community over the decision to make the long serving musicians re-audition through a draconian and unmusical process.  More information about the conflict can be found in our “Archives” section.

The musicians are under no threat from the current (and completely different) management.  We are happily providing beautiful classical orchestral and chamber music for audiences in the lakes region of New Hampshire!

The purpose of the site now is to give information about current NHMF musicians, their representative committees and provide a repository for important documents.

For information on upcoming performances visit the official web-site for the New Hampshire Music Festival at nhmf.org
