The Hillsborough Arts Council organizes and sponsors three concerts in private historic homes in Hillsborough each year. This is our 11th annual Parlor Concert series. The concerts consist of musical performances and readings by local musicians and authors. They include a short historic presentation by the site host or other member of the community about the concert site and its historic significance to the community.
Our goal is to present a wide variety of musical styles in these programs, all allowing the audience an intimate listening experience without being separated from the artists by stage or amplification. The performances focus attention on Hillsborough's historic district and individual historic sites in an exciting and creative way.
