34 Years of Music at the Meeting House
Sign up for the MMH Mailing List
The following is a list of the approximately 180 programs in the Music at the Meeting House series, arranged with the most
recent first. When a person or group has performed more than once, we often give one listing, followed by the multiple dates. We have
divided the list of events into two parts: Programs created especially for Music at the Meeting House, and programs where the performers or groups present programs from their repertoire. These lists
are followed by a partial list of instrumentalists, mostly from recent programs, who have performed in Music at the Meeting House events; and a partial list of vocalists who have also performed in recent
special programs.
