NEMPAC and
the Eureka Musician’s Ensemble will team up in an exciting “Tour of the Towns” this summer, bringing their fun and interactive Instrument Petting Zoos to Charlestown and Beacon Hill. At each event, Eureka musicians and NEMPAC Instructors will work with children to teach them about the different instrument groups that they specialize in, as well as to help them try out the instruments themselves. From violins to clarinets to trumpets, children will get to touch, play, and learn about instruments of all types, from playing fun call and repeat games on the hand drums to trying to produce a clear note on the trumpet.

About the Eureka Ensemble:
The Eureka Ensemble (a.k.a Eureka) is a collective of Boston’s finest young professional musicians dedicated to transcending the boundary between art and social service. We strive for everyone to share in the “eureka!” moment that a great work of art can inspire. The “orchestra” is a platform where different groups of people work together in pursuit of one common goal. We believe that communities operate in much the same way, and as passionate performers, we inspire new communities to form, with music as the focal point. In Eureka, we are all citizen artists, dedicated to using music as a vehicle for change and social service. We embody this in every aspect of our musical and professional lives and work to inspire others to do the same. To learn more, visit www.eurekaensemble.org.
