Who we are

The Newton Family Singers (NFS) is an intergenerational family chorus that brings together families and friends of all ages to sing American folk music in the Greater Boston area. Our mission is to create community through music. Singers, young and old, are nurtured to sing, create and perform while learning from each other and building family and community bonds.

The Newton Family Singers rehearse at the Waban Library Center, a library and community space dedicated to intellectual, cultural, and social enrichment in the heart of Newton, MA.

Community

NFS is committed to celebrating American folk music and the joy of community singing with broad-based audiences. NFS has performed at, or collaborated with, the following organizations:

• Newton Festival of the Arts
• Waban Improvement Society's Waban Village Day
• Cooperative Metropolitan Ministries' Unity Day
• Maplewood at Weston (formerly Norumbega Point)
• Scandinavian Living Center
• Golda Meir House, Jewish Community Housing for the Elderly
• Newton Cultural Center
• Newton Community Pride, Mayor's Open House
• Jamaica Plain's Wake Up the Earth Festival

Charitable Causes

Although not explicitly part of Newton Family Singers' mission, we've found it rewarding to raise funds for nonprofits that have touched members of our community. When concert ticket sales benefit a charity that's important to us, it's easy to ask people for their support. 
 
These are some of the charitable organizations that NFS has supported over the years.

• AANE - Asperger/Autism Network
• Newton Food Pantry
• Autism Alliance of Metrowest
• Newton Community Farm
• Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria Disaster Relief
• Best Buddies' Local Chapter Team Believe 

In all, over $15,000 have been donated to these groups.
