LET THE BIDDING BEGIN!
Making Music Happen!
Last year, through our Performance Outreach Department, NEC students performed for more than 15,000 people in over 150 venues, including hospitals, nursing homes, inner-city schools, libraries, and other places where people do not ordinarily get to hear live music.
Bidding in the Feast of Music auction ensures that these phenomenal experiences continue well into the future.
Welcome to New England Conservatory’s “A Feast of Music” online auction. Here you will find once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to bid on exciting getaways and inspiring experiences, including ownership of a wine vineyard in France. Best of all, winning bids directly support New England Conservatory’s General Scholarship Fund, which helps make an NEC education possible for every deserving student.
Monies generated will help ensure that these gifted young people can have access to NEC's world-renowned faculty and curriculum, irrespective of their financial means. And it means NEC's impact on music - here in Boston and throughout the world - will only continue to grow.
Why we host A Feast of Music:
- To raise money for NEC's General Scholarship Fund.
- To raise 15% of NEC's Annual Fund goal. The Annual Fund is the lifeblood of the Conservatory and helps pay for everything from scholarships and free concerts to general maintenance.
- Thanks in large part to this event, 86% of NEC's student body receives some form of scholarship award.
