 M H. GILE TRUST CONCERT SERIES The William H. Gile Trust was created by 
 Helen B. Gile in 1952. She left a legacy of more than $700\,000 to finan
 ce a free concert series in Concord\, New Hampshire in memory of her fat
 her\, William H. Gile. Helen Gile stipulated that the trust funds were t
 o be managed by what is now Citizens Bank\, and that the selection of sh
 ows "of the highest type in all respects" was to be made by a committee 
 of three local citizens. After much planning\, the first William H. Gile
  Concert Series was held during the 1960-61 show season\, and\, over 60 
 years later\, we are happy to now call the Capitol Center for the Arts o
 ur home.\n\nMore info: https://www.ccanh.com/show-details/gile-series-dy
