NECOM – Woolshed Series – “Cressbrook”
The New England Conservatorium of Music’s Woolshed Series presents spectacular springtime concerts in three iconic woolsheds to celebrate the New England’s unique identity and rich cultural heritage: past and present.
Join NECOM in its 20th anniversary year for this unforgettable series that showcases both our region’s wealth of musical talent and the impressive pastoral heritage of the New England.

The final concert in the series takes us to Cressbrook Woolshed, built in 2001, replacing the former 1930s shed with the view to increasing capacity as the Cressbrook flock grew. The four-stand shed hosts an annual ram sale and has been a wedding and party venue for the Fulloon family over the years. It is a perfect concert venue with the four stands providing an excellent stage area and the wooden materials giving an unexpectedly good acoustic.
This concert features virtuosic repertoire for saxophones as well as John Harle’s gorgeous reworkings of Old English songs and Shakespearean sonnets combining classical, jazz and pop elements.
Artists: Paul Marshall (clarinet, saxophone, bassoon); Louisa Sindel-Marshall (clarinet, saxophone); Warwick Dunham (piano); Connie Dunham (voice)
Plus we’re partnering with Dobson’s Distillery to offer an exclusive Woolshed Series New England Dry Gin ($87.63). All profits from the sales will go towards NECOM’s Outreach School Music Program fundraising goal.
