How Can You Support the Arts in the North End this year?
Support the North End Music & Performing Arts Center (NEMPAC)! The Arts have the ability to transform lives. You may have walked through the Paul Revere Mall in the North End, behind Old North Church – and heard children’s laughter resonating through the walls of our building, or beautiful melodies coming from our grand piano in our front room, or even loud rock band jamming that just making you want to break out and dance! This is happiness, and this is NEMPAC.The organization is still celebrating its success of last weeks Messiah Concert in partnership with the Boston Landmarks Orchestra. “We are extremely grateful for the large turnout last Wednesday night and we’re appreciative of the support we’re receiving from the community! As we look ahead into 2016, we cannot wait to share with you new and exciting programs that will help us celebrate our 15th Year Anniversary!” -Sherri Snow, NEMPAC Executive Director.
