Bidding farwell to 2010 - a very good year musically, if a little ragged financially!!! 

Blackledgemusic,Inc.'s 2010 accomplishments include performances for the Mark Twain Holiday House Tour, performances at The Goff House in East Hampton, CT which is the beginning of a new cultural series at that location, Latino Expo in Hartford, Ted Hershey Dance Marathon in Hartford, CT! Blackledge Flutes and Charter Oak Flutes presented several performances including events at the Congregational Church in East Hampton, CT. It was a good year musically. We have trimmed back the number of performances because of the decline in grant funds.
