What we believe
Con affetto is a marking in a score. It asks the player to play with affection. We take it literally.
We bring free recitals to senior communities and other places around Nashua.
One place on every program is kept for a student playing for an audience for the first time.
Anyone can request a song, and a performer learns it by the next visit.
From the archive
Each piece, who is playing it and who asked for it. We keep every program, so the archive doubles as a record of what our performers have played.

At every recital
How long a recital runs depends on the program and the venue.
Anyone can ask for a song. A performer learns it by the next visit, and the program says who asked for it.
One place on each program is kept for a student who has never played for an audience before.
Everyone gets a printed program with the pieces, who is playing them and who requested them.
We rotate through a small set of venues, starting with The Huntington at Nashua.
Communities and venues
Free recitals on dates set well ahead. We bring the performers and the program. You provide a room with a piano and a time.
Student musicians
If you play an instrument at any level and want somewhere to perform that is not the once-a-year recital, join us.
Anyone can send us a request. A performer learns it by the next visit, and their name goes on the program.
For teachers
If you teach privately, your students can perform with us without any extra work for you. We handle scheduling and venues, and students come and play.
