The Northeast Ohio Musical Heritage Association (NEOMHA) is a U.S. nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting traditional music in Northeast Ohio. Its mission encompasses the preservation, celebration, and sustenance of folk music in various forms, including old-time, bluegrass, jazz, and Celtic traditions.
Mission and Objectives
NEOMHA aims to create venues and opportunities for the performance, education, and preservation of folk music. The organization seeks to bring awareness and enjoyment of musical heritage to broader audiences and provide a platform for local musicians to collaborate and share their talents.
Activities and Events
- Lake Erie Folk Fest: NEOMHA organizes this festival annually, featuring workshops, performances, and jam sessions. The event includes both daytime activities and an evening concert showcasing local, regional, and national talent.
- JamFest: A casual event held in the Waterloo Arts District, focusing on diverse musical genres such as bluegrass, jazz, old-time, and Celtic music across multiple venues.
- Educational Programs: NEOMHA has developed programs to support music education, including a YouTube series targeting students in grades 6-12, which features musicians from around the world and emphasizes local talent.
Impact and Outreach
During challenging periods, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, NEOMHA adapted by launching virtual programs to continue supporting musicians and engaging with the community. The organization also hosts live concerts, such as the Nellie McKay concert in 2020, to promote musicians and build a vibrant music community.
