Spring Hill Studio in Sharon will host a clarinet trio concert on Sunday, March 16, at 3 p.m., with Dorothy Braker on cello, Julie Meneghini on clarinet and Mary Towse-Beck on piano.

Spring Hill Studio, a concert space and visual art gallery, is the long-held dream of Towse-Beck, a lifelong professional musician and educator who has performed throughout the United States, Europe and Australia, including at Carnegie Hall and at the Barbican in London. She has been a featured artist on public radio in the United States, Canada and on Australian National Radio. In recent years, she has appeared as soloist with the Toledo and Portsmouth symphonies and has released a solo album, “The Impressionists.”

She also teaches masterclasses, coaches chamber music and adjudicates competitions.

Towse-Beck came to the Monadnock region in 2022 after deciding to downsize from her home in the Seacoast region and find a property with more land. Initially, she started looking for property in Vermont, but couldn’t find anything that suited her.  After making an unsuccessful offer on a house in Harrisville, Towse-Beck came across the Sharon property, which has a view over wetlands and is surrounded by woods.  

Towse-Beck spent the last two years renovating the house to create Spring Hill Studio.   

“I always wanted to buy a smaller house and add onto it to create a home performance space,” Towse-Beck said.  “Then I found this house, which was a total teardown when I bought it.  We took the house right down to the studs, and we added on the studio. It was a lot of work, and it took a lot of  time, money and  patience, and there was a lot of stress. But it was worth it.”

The 800-square-foot space has professional-grade acoustics and seats 50. Towse-Beck said she met a lot of people in Sharon through the lengthy planning process of getting the studio built. 

“People were really kind, and I met so many people in town who wanted to help,” Towse-Beck said. 

Spring Hill Studio hosted its inaugural event in October with a concert and art exhibit. Painters Earl Schofield and Tim Schloemer and ceramicist Kimberly Kersey Asbury displayed their work, and Towse-Beck performed works by Franz Liszt, Claude Debussy and George Gershwin.

“I didn’t know anyone here when I moved to the Monadnock region,” she said. “But the area has so many artists and musicians and so many events, it was not at all hard to meet people. I just went around introducing myself, and the magic just happened.”

The art of Kristen Pobatschnig will be displayed during the show. Towse-Beck said adding the art exhibits to the events was a “happy byproduct” of creating the music studio. 

“I met a lot of visual artists, and it wasn’t something I had planned to do, but it just all worked out,” she said. 

Towse-Beck says she is “always looking for people or artists of all kinds to collaborate with going forward.” In February, the studio hosted an “experimental evening  of Berlin School electronic music” with synthesizer artist Reuven Grehan, who was accompanied by Towse-Beck.

“Reuven is this young man with synthesizers who did a very interesting program with me on the piano; it was really incredible. I am open to anything. We want to be an incubator for the arts,” Towse-Beck said.

In April, the studio will host sopranos Brittney Redler and Esther Rhoades, accompanied by Towse-Beck. The program will include works by Poulenc, Barber, DeFalla and Zach Redler. 

This summer, Towse-Beck will be collaborating on a concert with Monadnock Music.

The studio, which is fully accessible, is located at 358 Spring Hill Road in Sharon. For information, go to springhillstudio.co.
