zero cost for musicians
NEMO CIC charges absolutely no fee to anyone who is invited to join the ensembles. All too often opportunities such as these come with a price tag, but due to the incredible generousity of our donors that's not the case with our ensembles!
At this time the only thing we ask is that each musician provide their own instruments with the exception of drums and keys. These will be provided at the rehearsals and performances.
(guitar amps and bass amps will also be provided)
authentically representing musical traditions
it is important to understand where our music comes from. This includes the people and the cultures which have created these art forms. NEMO works to provide genuine understanding of these musical traditions and how they are connected to the culture of the Northeast.
