MMF Events Calendar
At one point derided for its excess and bombast, this period gave us the music of Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi. In addition to learning about some of the important composers of this era, we will also be exploring the birth of opera, the rise of instrumental music, and new ideas concerning the power of music and its ability to express emotions.
In honor of the George Hamilton IV Collection here at the MMF, we will be exploring the history of one of America’s great cultural treasures. Come join us as we delve into the lives and songs of American country music from its origins up to today.

Summer Play Around at New Philadelphia Moravian Church, Wednesdays:
All band instrument players (woodwinds and brass alike – even strings) are invited to come and play with the New Philadelphia Summer Play-Around Band! The band will meet each Wednesday between Memorial Day and Labor Day from 7:00 pm until 8:00 pm in the New Philadelphia Moravian Church Fellowship Hall (4440 Country Club Rd., Winston-Salem, NC). We will play chorales from the green and blue books that are selected by the players. A different local band leader will direct each night. This is a great opportunity to meet new players, learn a new instrument or part, and keep those lips in shape over the summer. Hope to see you there.
