Welcome to the Friends of Music at Guilford, a community music organization offering a year-round season of concerts and other activities in Southern Vermont.

Since our founding on Labor Day Weekend, 1966, we have remained dedicated to the tradition of amateur performance - music performed for the love of it. In addition, we have kept our performances largely admission-free, with donations welcome, as a service to the community.

Finally, we have a special mission: to present works which would otherwise go unperformed. In addition to programming repertoire from past centuries, we have given special attention to music of our own time and place. We have premiered over 3501 works by New England composers, ranging from chamber pieces and songs to choral and orchestral music.

Join us at an upcoming concert or become a member.

We are able to present our events at low cost to the audience because we are supported by over hundreds of member households which make an annual donation and receive our regular newsletter. We invite you to attend the programs listed in the CALENDAR, and, if you'd like to participate further, see the MEMBERSHIP page. We welcome volunteer staff at events, and singers and musicians who would like to perform. Friends of Music has a commitment to making its programs accessible to all.
