This group is about getting together to learn and practice Irish Session Tunes, and to listen to Irish Music. I find learning tunes at sessions to be impossible, and while it is enjoyable to learn and play music at home, it would be fun to get together with others to play occasionally. I started this group to see if there are others like me. To start, we are meeting once a month to play tunes at a fairly slow tempo. Because the goal is to learn tunes and to practice playing with others I'm gue …

This is a Meetup group for instrumental musicians in the Boston area who are interested in reading chamber music together.

Country Music kicks ass! But it's really, really hard to find a place not only to hear Country, but also dance to it. This meetup gets people together who love listening to country music, love hanging out with friends and drinking beer (preferably out of mason jars), and who wanna dance to it! Line dancing may not have such a great vibe here in MA, but when you do it with a bunch of friends in a bar with lots of beer, it catches on and everyone has a great time.

We welcome dancers, models, fashion designers, choreographers, film makers, producers, musicians, actors/actresses and anyone associated with dance, modeling, fashion design and music video production. We are particularly interested in cutting edge choreography, fashion, production, and new media.

We are a group that is focused on creating new business models in music fashion and dance. Creating competing business models that are better for musicians, dancers, producers, music publishers, photographers, fashion designers is essential in the age of new media.

Boston has a great local music scene and this is a great way to enjoy it!

Guitarists, pianists, cellists, vocalists, woodwind players, sax, hand drums... in short, we don't use electricity. We're professionals and closet musicians. Some of us are self trained and some  are classically trained. We gave up the idea of becoming musicians in lieu of another field but never let go of our common passion. This is a welcoming group for musicians who want to respectfully & creatively share with and learn from other musicians.  To be heard by others. To be moved by the spirit o …

European Folk music and Cultural History with Natasha Dukach. Beyond just exploring Pan-Slavic and Eastern European music for the sheer joy of it, I also want to push the perceived boundaries of national folk music. In Russia, Ukraine, and Hungary, growing conservative political factions are attempting to use their nation’s musical heritage in a bid for a kind musical nationalism--each claiming the purity and superiority of their respective nation’s musical traditions as a way of instilling cons …

Do you love going to the Symphony? Do you love classical music? Heck, do you love all music? Join us! To shamelessly borrow a cliché: "We're just about the music!" No egos or agendas, full stop! We are a group of young working professionals, not starving artists. Some of us are native New Englanders, and some of us are Boston newbies. We are all brought together by a love of classical music, and inspired by the magic of the Boston Symphony, Pops & Tanglewood.
