One of the purposes of Fox Islands Concerts is to encourage and promote
musical education on the islands of North Haven and Vinalhaven. We provide
grants to each island school for specific musical needs (books, music,
instruments, etc.) and scholarships to students for music camps and workshops.
In 2009, Fox Islands Concerts provided a scholarship that enabled two North
Haven sisters to attend a summer music camp. They sent a delightful
letter
of appreciation. Also in 2009 we were able to sponsor a
student
workshop with the Jazz Arts Trio.
During 2010-11 we helped over 40 students travel to hear the Epic Brass in
Rockland, ME. We paid travel expenses for chaperones who accompanied two
students chosen for the District 3 Sixth Grade Music Honors Band in Lisbon, ME
and contributed to the Vinalhaven Senior Class Trip, helping them to see Les
Miserables in London, England. We funded private music lessons for two students,
sent one student to music camp, and purchased ukuleles for a new music education
program at the North Haven School.
It is our hope in the future to bring artists to the islands during the
school year to interact with the students and with the island population in
general. If you are an island resident and are interested in a grant from Fox
Islands Concerts, please contact
