When a New England artist attracts attention it usually starts locally and spreads regionally. If the artist is fortunate and talented enough, that attention sometimes leads to great visibility around the country. One of the New England artists getting a lot of attention at the moment is Kirsten Reynolds of Newmarket, New Hampshire. A Virginia […]
Santa Claus will come to town, the herald angels will sing, and the bells will jingle all the way. Those seasonal sounds have been struck in December at Symphony Hall dating back to 1974, when Arthur Fiedler led the Boston Pops. And it starts all over again this December 11 through 28, when the Boston […]
