Youngest Recipient of State Arts Council Grant to Present Program, New Hampshire - USAby Rob Howard |
 Accordionist Douglas Brunson was only 11 years old when the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts relaxed its age guidelines in order to award him a grant, making him the youngest recipient in the program’s history. The grant allowed Douglas a year to study traditional Scottish music. One of the grant requirements is a public presentation of what the recipient has learned during the preceding year. Now aged 12, Douglas will fulfil this requirement by offering a performance at 1.45pm on October 18th during the monthly meeting of the New Hampshire Accordion Association (NHAA). His teacher, Sylvia Miskoe, former music director of the Strathspey and Reel Society of New Hampshire, will also participate in the program. Both Sylvia and Douglas are longstanding members of NHAA. An Oktoberfest celebration will follow their presentation. This event is open to the public without charge and will take place at Accordion Connection, 136 Route 106, Gilmanton, NH 03257.
