Commissioned Works

With the financial assistance of the Foxboro Music Association and other community members, combined with grants received through the Foxboro Cultural Council and the Boch Foundation, the music program of the Foxborough Public Schools has been privileged to commission over a dozen works. Many of these works have entered the standard repertoire of other high schools, colleges, and universities around the world.

Supporting the creation of new musical works of the highest quality is important to sustaining the arts. The FMA thanks its generous donors and sponsors for your assistance in furthering this part of our mission.
