About Me
Groton Hill Music Center is a world-class music performance and education center in Groton, Massachusetts.
Groton Hill Music Center is a gathering place for all to experience the highest quality music education – with private lessons, classes, ensembles, and supplemental learning programs for all ages and abilities; world-class professional performances of all genres — from jazz, global roots, and folk to classical masterworks and chamber music; and impactful outreach programs that share the transformative power of music throughout the community. Designed by award-winning Epstein Joslin Architects of Cambridge, MA, Groton Hill Music Center is, a stunning 126,000 square foot facility featuring a 1,000-seat Concert Hall; the 300-seat Meadow Hall; 35 multi-scaled rehearsal and teaching spaces; a spacious, light-filled lobby; state-of-the-art acoustics; and dynamic architecture on 110 acres of rolling fields. The organization also worked with one of the nation’s preeminent acousticians, Threshold Acoustics of Chicago, to create an outstanding sound environment designed to enhance performances. The center is designed to integrate these spaces for music into the natural beauty of its rural setting. All of the facility’s public lobbies and performance spaces open onto green spaces that were once a part of the region’s famous apple orchards. The surrounding stage walls of the 300-seat Meadow Hall are made of glass so audiences can feel like they are enjoying a performance in a meadow. The rear of the main Concert Hall will open onto a lawn with a 1,300-seat capacity for those who wish to sit outdoors during the warmer months. And two-thirds of the land on which the facility sits – formerly both an apple orchard and a horse farm – are being preserved as open- space. The performance spaces and rehearsal rooms have a musical fluidity to them from the curvaceous structure and timber wall surfaces that enhance the acoustics and echo the gentle slopes of the property.
