The Summerkeys musical programs are designed to offer the busy adult student the opportunity to become immersed in music study and practice.  There are no admission requirements, and the premise is:

"Come as you are to enjoy the study, the work and the beauty of the Maine Coast."

     SummerKeys, powered by a dream and a spate of good luck, opened its doors to a sell-out crowd in the summer of 1992.  Since then "music people" (for that would surely describe anyone you find there, regardless of their skill level) have been coming to enjoy their instrument in the peace and beauty of a lovely old fishing village called Lubec.

     Lubec, Maine feels stepped back in time.  In a setting of pristine beauty, on a hill at the end of a peninsula jutting into The Bay of Fundy and abutting Campobello Island, it has remained isolated from the frantic quality of modern life.  The international boundary marker between Maine and New Brunswick, Canada is located at the tip of the town breakwater, and you can walk into Canada across the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial Bridge.  One comes away remembering gleaming church spires, white clapboard with green shutters and fishing wharves.

     SummerKeys occupies a cedar-shingled structure built as Lubec's waterfront Masonic Hall in 1826; it was later moved to its present location overlooking Johnson's Bay and Campobello.  We recently bought the adjacent house, and also rent space from the Congregational, Christian temple and Sacred Heart churches to accommodate the program's expansion.
