Our Annual Watertown MusicFests have been great community events with over 50 performances each year – by Watertown’s youngest musicians to professionals – on 4 “stages”, allowing Friends of Watertown Music to make more than $12,000 in grants for the direct benefit of music programming in the Watertown Public Schools.

The Schools are matching our most recent grant in a 2.5 to 1 ratio, creating a 0.4 FTE position at the Hosmer School that includes pre-school and pre-kindergarten music classes in addition to ensuring that elementary students across the district receive music education classes with an appropriate student : teacher ratio. The Middle School Jazz Band, originally funded by a 2012-13 Friends of Watertown Music grant, is now incorporated into the school budget.

Help make 2015 our best year ever!
