Community Service, Outreach, and Network

How Tufts Music Reaches Out
The Music Department strives to make music accessible and enjoyable for everyone in our community. To achieve this goal we have created several ways to connect with our different communities. There is the public community, the people of Medford and Somerville as well as our student and alumni community. Our hope is to involve everyone in our community who has a passion for learning and a love of music.

COMMUNITY MUSIC

In addition to the regular 150 plus concerts and events presented in the center's Distler Performance Hall and Fisher Performance Room (which are all open to the public to attend), Tufts Music also offers a wide range of other community music programs. These include: Saturday music classes for children and teenagers, weekday evening classes and ensembles for adults, guest workshops with community musicians, a special Sundays at Tufts Community Concert series with a rotating slate of artist and music genres, and Saturday Family and Children's Concerts.
