Music On the Hill: Concert Series in
East Greenwich, RI
Music On the Hill is an experience the entire family can enjoy right here in Little Rhody! Listening to classical music is not only enjoyable for adults but for kids as well. Why do you think Baby Einstein DVDs are packed with classical music? Studies have been conducted to show a link between classical music and brain activity. This type of music releases neurons in the brain which helps the body to relax, and once it’s relaxed it can absorb and learn. Attending a concert together as a family is a great way to get kids interested, involved, and to appreciate this genre of music.
About Music On the Hill (from their website): “Music on the Hill hosts an annual Festival Series of featuring prominent musicians who have come from, or currently live in Rhode Island during the first two weeks of June. Music on the Hill uses St. Luke’s Episcopal Church as a home base and offer concerts at other venues throughout the state.
