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. 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 allows NEC's impact on music - here in Boston and throughout the world - to 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.
Did you know that New England Conservatory presents over 600 free concerts a year, ranging from classical to jazz to new musics, and everything in between?
Bidding in the Feast of Music auction helps ensure that our tradition of presenting a plethora of free concerts year-round will continue well into the future.
