January 08, 2021 - To all of our music-loving friends:

As have so many arts organizations across our region, state, and country, NSMA has needed to suspend our regular programming while the COVID-19 pandemic continues. 
While we greatly miss seeing you at events, our greatest priority remains doing our part to help keep our community safe and healthy.

We are currently looking into the feasibility of offering some great alternative programming, to help bridge the gap to when when we can gather again in person. We will keep you apprised of details as they are available. 

In the meantime, wishing the best of hope, health, and joy to you in the new year!

Sincerely,

NSMA Director Kate Fitzgerald & the NSMA Board of Directors

Do you have a used band instrument that needs a home? Would you like to make a donation to help repair or buy used instruments for students in need? 

The North Shore Music Association (NSMA) is sponsoring a donation drive to get instruments into the hands of ISD 166 band students. To strengthen music education and learning opportunities in our community, our goal is to see that every child who needs one has access to an instrument for use at school and practice at home. 

Please contact NSMA Director Kate Fitzgerald for details on how to donate: 218-387-1272 or music@boreal.org.

A huge thanks to the NSMA board and community members who volunteered their time and thoughtful voices to this project. Thanks also to the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council, whose generous funding helped support this work!
