The 2008/2009 Jane Hanson Productions season will offer tantalizing opportunities for students, educators, performers, and American Idols to increase their level of joy and excellence through the performing arts. That's right, it's not just a mission, it's a slogan! Jane Hanson Productions will be teaming up with the Northampton Community Music Center, the Pioneer Valley Ballet, the Academy of Music, the Chamber Music Series at Wistariahurst Museum, and the Pioneer Valley Symphony. Please read this entire newsletter (875k pdf), cover-to-cover, lovingly dog-earing pages as you go, to find out more.
I look forward to making music with, or at least near, all of you.

A program where exceptional high-school singers can improve their singing and musicianship under the guidance of professional faculty in an atmosphere of fun and friendship.
"I feel like this program has really helped me to unlock the power of my voice."
- Maria Yeskie, S.V.M.A. participant
The 2008 Summer Vocal Music Academy for teens (yup, that works out to S.V.M.A., pronounced "Svuh-maaaahhhh") was an amazing experience. Solfege Bowl 2008 was a ruthless, brutal battle to the death: Congratulations to The Spinach Slaying Water Wall-E's of Ms. Hanson's Closet, winners of the team competition, and A.J. Berube, winner of the individual competition.
