Artistic excellence

We present internationally renowned artists alongside the most compelling new voices of our generation — musicians who honor tradition while reshaping it, who stretch expectations of genre and form, and whose work speaks to the times we are living in. Our programming spans a robust classical core, collaborative acoustic traditions from around the world, and bold artistic projects that could only happen in a setting like ours.

Community Care

In an era marked by isolation and distraction, we believe live music in community settings is one of the most powerful ways we can provide care and nourishment for the people of our city.

Drawing on a growing body of research into music's role in health, we design concerts that attend to the whole person — the room, the pacing, the welcome, the chance to be present with others. Our Well-Being Concerts make this commitment most explicit, but it shapes everything we do, from our kids programs to the Lullaby Project to the Mainstage stage itself.
