Rooted in the North End of Boston, NEMPAC's mission is to enrich lives through exceptional, accessible music education and performing arts programs that are as vibrant, diverse, and inclusive as our communities. The non-profit organization empowers artists of all ages and abilities between its community music school to its professional performing arts center. Most recently, the organization was awarded a building from the City of Boston and Mayor Walsh located at 50 Tileston Street and transformed this 18th-century historic building into a new NEMPAC Music Center, a state-of-the-art, public facility. A group of North End mothers founded NEMPAC in 2001 to create musical programming for their children. In 2004, the Robert White Foundation donated to NEMPAC their city-operated space located off the Prado (The Paul Revere Mall) In the North End. This space, consisting of 4 private music studios, a storage basement, and an office, is where we began to flourish. Today, we serve over 1,493 students per week through our education programs and partnerships, including the Boston Public Schools, the Charlestown Working Theater, Boston Festival Orchestra, and the Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy. Our concerts make the North End of Boston a destination for arts and culture. As we continue to grow as a Performing Arts Center, we want to ensure we engage our audiences with creative, quality, and innovative programming.
