Prospective students and community members are invited to join Northern Essex Community College for a special Music Department open house on Saturday, March 28th in the Hartleb Technology Center, 100 Elliott Street, Haverhill. The event will run from 5:00-7:00 p.m.

Attendees will have a chance to explore the many facets of NECC’s music program, including its versatile ensembles and choral groups. From 5-5:30, the public may tour the department’s classrooms and practice spaces and speak with current students and faculty members about their experiences at NECC.

A brief reception and recital by several of the college’s musical ensembles will follow the main proceedings. Prospective students are encouraged to remain afterward to ask questions and learn more about the value of a music degree from NECC.

The NECC Associate in Arts Degree: Music Option provides students with a foundation for success in musical performance, music education, and music computer technology. Those who complete the program will have gained a diverse range of skills, from reading and writing music to teaching and performing, and will be prepared for transfer to a four-year institution.
