Boscawen, NH, 8/19/2013 – Two years since the start of construction, the Avaloch Farm Music Institute celebrates the new facilities and its inaugural season with live musical performances by Avaloch’s first resident musicians. These include Jazz duo, TooQ, the Purple Line Trio, the Trio Venia, the Lev-Hartka Duo, and guest artists, the Chiara String Quartet, The Institute provides residents the opportunity to reside at Avaloch Farm for 1-6 weeks from June to November. Musicians are provided with room, board, studios, and complete access to the recreational facilities on the 200 acres of Avaloch Farm. In exchange, musicians engage in community outreach by performing in the Concord Area at a variety of venues. While Avaloch was originally conceived of solely for traditional classical chamber ensembles, the overwhelming response from the musical community led the institute’s directors to expand applicant criteria. As a result, the inaugural season includes a Jazz duo, a Baroque Chamber Orchestra, a Renaissance Ensemble, several contemporary music ensembles, some of which are bringing commissioned composers with them, as well as string quartets and piano trios.
