NSB Helping to Provide Free Tickets to Youth for Maine Music Society Events

LEWISTON—For over 50 years, thousands of Mainers of all ages have been delighted by exhilarating performances hosted by the Maine Music Society in Lewiston.

The society is comprised of the MMS Chorale, a mixed-voice community chorus led by MMS Artistic Director Dr. Richard Nickerson, and the MMS Chamber Singers, a 15-voice, a cappella group that performs at a variety of venues, large and intimate, including the Inauguration Celebration for Governor Janet Mills. 

Norway Savings Bank has long supported MMS, including over $20,000 in contributions over recent years. Now, NSB is helping to ensure that young people get a possibly transformative opportunity to take in the magic.

“This year, our contributions will help subsidize free tickets to all MMS concert events for children 12 and under,” said Dan Walsh, President and CEO of Norway Savings. “We love the idea of students having the chance to see these talented choruses present a broad range of musical genres. In many cases, these students wouldn’t be exposed to these events and the immense talent on display.”

“We are so thankful for NSB’s longtime support of the Maine Music Society,” said Dr. Nickerson. “The bank recognizes the importance of our organization and appreciates the role we play in the community. We are able to connect these talented and engaged singers and offer cultural initiatives that reach people who otherwise wouldn’t be exposed to the arts and the beauty of this music.”
