Enriching Lives Through Great Music…You Make It Happen
Under the visionary leadership of Artistic Director David Deveau, Rockport Music is committed to sustaining the artistic excellence for which it has become renowned over the past 30 years. Our inaugural season in the Shalin Liu Performance Center was a resounding success, and now your gift is important to fund expanded artistic programming, free community events, and educational outreach programs for Cape Ann school children. The success of Rockport Music has only been possible because of our donors’ conviction that great music is important and worthy of support. In other words, you – and other generous supporters like you – make it happen.
Please join us by making a gift today. It’s an exciting time to be a part of Rockport Music!
