#PMF25 — Another Wonderful Day!

It was wonderful to see so many performers, teachers, families, and friends at #PMF25! With well over 100 performances on a multitude of instruments — including 18 by Songcatchers students / student-teachers, and 14 ensembles brought by the Pelham Schools music faculty — it was another amazing day of music shared!! We thank you for all your support in making this possible year after year! (Donations are, of course, always welcome!)

The festival celebrates all instruments and styles of music and this year was no exception, from classical to rock, and, for the final time as a student participant, an original composition by PMHS Senior Sade Jacobs who’s been a PMF fixture since elementary school! Harriet Dolgon and Nely Burla accompanied many of the young musicians, and Marcia Bean, Andrew Dolgon, Enid Blount Press, and Amy Hersh delighted audiences at the end of Sessions 1-4 respectively.

The new PMF Raffles went down really well, too. You can find a full list of the winners here, but we’d like to shout out special thanks to Tracey McFarland for donating her entire winnings from Session 5’s 50/50 raffle straight back to us!

We will be posting photos from the day soon, and sharing download links for Liz Farrell‘s PMF Portraits in 2-3 weeks. If you post about #PMF25 on Social Media, please remember to tag us!

We look forward to seeing you next year, at the 2026 Pelham Music Festival, and will be announcing the date soon.
