BLEMF is dedicated to enriching the lives of future audiences and performers by offering educational events both during the year and during the festival.
BELMF is expanding the educational activities during the festival this year! There will be over a dozen free educational events in the 2008 festival. There are events for young children, for young musicians, and events that audiences of all ages will find interesting. Please see the Festival page for details on the educational events offered during this festival.
BLEMF has two educational programs that have received rave reviews in the schools:
These programs, written and directed by Debbi Ponella, feature the young performers of Stages. Young audiences are immediately drawn in by seeing their peers performing and quickly enjoy the captivating story. Adults like them too. If you would like see such a performance visit your child's school, please contact our Education Director, Marie-Louise Smith, about having a BLEMF educational event visit your school.
