Georgia Musicale Group was incorporated in 2016 as a non-profit organization with dozens of music lovers. In the last several years, their group has experienced rapid growth with more than one hundred performers including pianists, various instrumentalists, and vocalists. Members come from diverse backgrounds: scientists, medical doctors, lawyers, teachers, professional musicians, etc. Besides professional musicians, many of them played instruments when they were younger but stopped playing due to their careers. However, their love of music remained, and they discovered GMG as a vehicle to pursue their love of music again. The experience gained by our members through participation in these musicales is a testament to the power of GMG’s mission: to recognize, nurture and provide opportunities for musical growth and development in a fun and supportive environment. Now we have members from Canada, Russia, Germany, France, and UK in addition to several states in America. We also invite professional artists from around the world.
The Historical Bowen is located just North of the downtown Dawsonville, GA at 334 Highway 9N. This “Old Rock School” is a vintage 1936 former school building which was also used as the County canning store, mattress factory, juvenile detention, and then designated in 1941 as the Department of Vocational Agriculture. In later years, it served as the Junior and High School’s rooms for band, choir, home economics and shop. When the County decided to demolish the building, groups sprang into action and formed the Dawson County Arts Council. Their efforts successfully brought hundreds of locals to help renovate the beautiful stone building into the flourishing community art center it is today.
