“Music making is really for life,” says Cape Symphony teaching artist Alex Nelson, a classically trained bassoonist with a degree in Music Education. Her holistic approach to musicianship and teaching does more than just bridge those worlds—it’s about recognizing that every moment, as an instrumentalist, teacher, or student, is full of potential for connection through the power of music.

Donor Spotlight: Meet Peg Nicholson
Cape Symphony patron Peg Nicholson happily “washed ashore” in Falmouth in the late 1990s. A lifelong classical music lover, she first discovered the Cape Symphony at a “Pops Goes the Summer” Labor Day weekend event on the Cape Cod Fairgrounds, and became a regular concertgoer. Before long, a friend coaxed her on to the Advisory Committee, then to the Finance Committee, and “next I knew they were recruiting me for the Board!” Peg served four years on the Cape Symphony Board of Trustees, and has been an avid supporter of the Symphony’s mission.
