About Encore

Encore Music Creations has moved audiences at venues ranging from cathedrals and country churches to private homes in the United States and abroad, sharing music from classical, sacred, and jazz traditions. One concert attendee praised an Encore performance in Maine as “a magnificent mélange of instruments and song that stirred the depths of everyone present.” Combining the skills and artistic visions of its members, Encore draws from centuries of musical expressions in impassioned performances and teaching. In 2010, Encore traveled across half of Norway and gave a series of well-received concerts in New England; other destinations include California, Washington, D.C., Manhattan, and Maine. A Norwegian critic stated: “[Encore] reached the audience and received great and well-deserved applause. Encore means “once more.” We look forward to not one, but many more times!” www.encoremusiccreations.com
