ABOUT

Applause Concerts was founded by in 2017 with a mission to present a wide array of professional arts performances for Melrose and the surrounding communities. It was launched as a pilot project in June of that year with a performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance, performed by Greater Worcester Opera. This pilot project was made possible with a seed money grant from the Melrose Messina Fund for the Arts. The show was a great success, and the idea of Applause Concerts was greeted with great enthusiasm. Applause Concerts continued producing events until the pandemic.
