A New World:
An Appalachian Trail Journey
Music School student Harriet Resnicoff, left,
with music therapist Julieann Hartley, right.
When the Music School's music therapist Julieann Hartley hit the Appalachian Trail a year ago, she didn't leave her students and clients behind. She invited them to participate in her adventure by writing poems for her to read atop mountains, sending her Appalachian Trail-inspired artwork, and using maps to track her progress.
Memories of her journey are still inspiring her music therapy work.
In her lessons with stroke survivor Harriet Resnicoff, who is relearning how to play the piano and was also an avid hiker, the two collaborated to create a video featuring photos from Julieann's hike, accompanied by Harriet and Julieann playing Dvorak's From the New World
.
"We often play this song, imagining all the beautiful things we have seen from our days hiking," wrote Hartley. "With this, her journey of recovery and my journey on the trail finally combines in a more tangible way."
Julieann Hartley reaches Mount Katahdin
at the end of her Appalachian Trail journey.

Eighteen Music School students earned places in the All-State Music Festival in April, where they performed in the orchestra, band, mixed choir, treble choir, and guitar orchestra.
Five Music School students who received the highest scores in the auditions appeared as principal players in the orchestra and as members of a select vocal ensemble performing the National Anthem: Fiona MacWhinnie, clarinet; Camden Ward, oboe; Peter Bynum, piccolo; Della Dolcino, soprano; and Nathan Smith, tenor.
"Jason Fettig [All-State Orchestra conductor and Music School alumnus] stretched our comfort zones, and picked a high level program, which was fun because everyone there was capable of doing it."
- Fiona MacWhinnie, Music School clarinet student

Congratulations to Tyler Shore and Grace Ann Kontak, students of Music School Voice Department chair Hannah Schramm Murray! Their stellar musical theater performances in the National Student Auditions, sponsored by the National Association of Teachers of Singing, have earned them a place in the live national semifinal rounds, which will take place in Chicago this summer.
To reach the national round, both students advanced through the Granite State auditions, the New England Regional competition, and the YouTube semifinal rounds.
WATCH:
In addition to this great success, Gracie and Tyler advanced all the way to the semifinal rounds of
Classical Singer magazine's "Virtually Vocal Musical Theater" competition. Tyler Shore placed second in the nation in this prestigious competition.
"The thing I appreciate most about NATS is the fact that it is completely filled with talent and competition. You have to push yourself to work even harder and be the best you can possibly be." - Grace Kontak, Music School voice student
"Hannah has not only taught me about my voice, but has given me the
knowledge and the courage to pursue my dream of being a musical theatre artist."
- Tyler Shore, Music School voice student

- Harimaya Adhikari
These programs were an outgrowth of the Music School's leadership work on the Steering Committee of the Welcoming Concord Initiative, which began through the statewide efforts of the Endowment for Health's Immigration Integration Initiative.
Welcoming Concord is a forum for collective action and shared learning, with the goal of warmly welcoming New Americans into the cultural, economic and civic life of the region.
