Deputy Director of Programming & Performing Arts Curator Thérèse LaGamma joined The Music Hall in late 2004, after four years as the Performing Arts Manager at the Museum of Fine arts in Boston. Since then, she has helped to bring countless artists of all genres to the Historic Theater on Chestnut Street, from John Prine to Natalie Merchant and from Andrew Bird to Feist—and has also been instrumental in building the brand of the intimate Music Hall Loft. Since opening four years ago, the Loft has presented hot discovery acts, popular local bands, and genre-bending world music. Regina Baraban recently caught up with Thérèse to learn her backstory and get the scoop on what’s coming next.Read More

The following Q&A with African Burying Ground committee member and Portsmouth City Councilor Chris Dwyer, is the final interview with three of the individuals who have volunteered their time and expertise to bring the Portsmouth African Burying Ground project to fruition with a Memorial Day weekend celebration taking place May 20 to May 23.
Regina Baraban (RB): When, and why, did you first get involved as a member of the African Burying Ground committee?
Chris Dwyer (CD): I had attended the public planning processes in 2007 that were initiated by the City to plan for the memorial. I became the City Council’s representative to the project the next year when former Councilor Hynes stepped down from office and I’ve served as the Council representative since then. Just as I was joining the committee, we began the process of selecting the artist Jerome Meadows to develop the public art for the site.Read More
