On Sunday, January 20th, the Manchester Community Music School will host its annual New Hampshire Youth Ensembles Winter Concert. Our String Preparatory Orchestra, our Concert Orchestra, the New Hampshire Youth Jazz Ensemble, the newly named Dino Anagnost Youth Symphony Orchestra of New Hampshire, and the brand new Robbins Farley Honors Brass Quintet will all perform.
This year’s annual NHYE Winter Concert will feature two exciting inaugural concerts. Local businessman Dick Anagnost, President of the Anagnost Companies, has made a memorial gift to the school to honor his late brother Dino Anagnost, a staunch advocate for music education.

Manchester Community Music School Board Member Bob Robbins, of Robbins Farley, has provided funding to found the Robbins Farley Honors Brass Quintet. This auditioned group of five advanced brass musicians will receive full scholarship to participate in the group. Bob’s childhood passion which continues today is his love of music. He played his trumpet professionally as a teenager and intended to pursue a musical career, but decided to enroll in college first. Bob has never given up his love of music. Today he plays trumpet regularly with the Nottingham Brass Quintet and the Windham Swing Band. Bob’s love of music is what compelled him to support this new select group at the Music School.
