Why do we host concerts at Eagle Hill?

Music transcends time and cultures, in the sense that a veneration for composers and their compositions is passed down from generation to generation. Imagined within the cultural setting at the time of their creation, compositions serve as portals through which we can envisage the lives of composers and their relationships with others, all within a regional and indeed a global context, during a continuum of interludes in history, right through to the present day.

There are deeply emotional reasons why composers, musicians, and listeners dedicate so much of their lives to immersing themselves within the world of music.

Musicians and listeners understand that each performance is unique, since each is an interpretation by the musicians of their in-the-moment understanding of the intent of the composers, as well as a reflection of their own muse and how they "resonate" with the muse of their audience.

These concerts are an important part of the mission of the institute, since they help balance the experience of what it emotionally feels like to be "human".

We are working on expanding our commitment to the music program by way of an architecturally-mediated-paradigm-shift that will result in the construction of a multi-mission cultural center on the western slope of Eagle Hill. From within it, one will have a sunset view looking out over Gouldsboro Bay towards Cadillac Mountain. It will serve as the new home for th music program, with a larger performance space and breakout rooms that will be well suited for hosting in-residence music master seminars. We have signed an agreement with a global architectural firm and are working on the vision design phase for the cultural center.
