Welcome to NEC
A year of musical growth, discovery, and joy is underway, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you!
COMMITMENT TO CULTURAL EQUITY & BELONGING
Systemic racism, unconscious bias, and white supremacy generate countless imbalances of equity, equality, and access. We must examine ourselves, and systematically advance respect, equity, and justice—within NEC first, throughout our field more broadly, and ultimately across society.
Our community celebrates music making of all kinds (and from all ages). Learn more about NEC Prep - our K-12 music school conveniently located within the NEC campus.
