At NHPR, we believe that through trustworthy journalism, we enrich lives and build stronger communities, in New Hampshire and beyond. We believe it’s also possible to learn about the world through music– and that carving out time in our lives to enjoy our local arts communities and discovering new music from near and far is integral to maintaining a rich and balanced lifestyle.
