28th Annual Melody Miles 5k!
Join us in running Melody Miles this year, and help keep the arts vibrant in Hamilton-Wenham!
Did you know that the HW Friends of the Arts has been supporting the arts in our district for over 28 years? Educators are invited to submit grant proposals which bring visual art, theater, and music into the classroom. Melody Miles is our annual fundraiser and allows us to support our teachers as they look to do big things.

Prism Concert (high school)
HWRHS will hold it's annual Prism Concert, Wednesday April 3, 7 p.m., in the Ferrini Dramatics Center.
Much like a prism breaks light into its component parts, tonight’s Prism concert breaks our instrumental music department into its varied components. The concept for Prism was started in 1975 at the Eastman School of Music as a way to showcase the talents of the individual rather than the entire group. It was also addressed the three issues usually associated with public concerts. To whit:
Concerts generally don’t show the individual’s talents.
Concerts can be too long.
The audience can be unintentionally rude by clapping in the wrong place.
Prism deals with all three by having mostly individuals or small groups perform; By keeping the entire concert held to no longer than 60 minutes; And by asking the audience to hold all applause until the very end.
You are cordially invited to attend. You will see the individual members of the high school performing arts community in a wonderfully intimate and enlightening setting.
