Symphony for Science | Kendall Square Orchestra Season Finale

On May 11, join the Kendall Square Orchestra for an extraordinary evening where artistry meets impact at Boston’s historic Symphony Hall. Symphony for Science 2025 unites music, storytelling, and action to address homelessness in Boston. Held at Symphony Hall on May 11, this event raises critical funds for Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP), which provides life-saving medical and mental health care to over 10,000 individuals annually.

The evening features performances by the Kendall Square Orchestra, acclaimed violinist Julie Leven (Founder of Shelter Music Boston), and the Women’s Chorus, an inspiring ensemble including singers from Boston-area shelters, amplifying voices from the very community this event supports. The program also includes thought-provoking discussions with Dr. Jim O’Connell (President of Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program), Kevin Adler (Founder of Miracle Messages), and Dr. Howard Koh (former U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health and Professor at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health), as well as performances of the first movement of Mozart’s Third Violin Concerto, Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9, and moving choral selections.

Weekend Concert Series: Music & Landscape

“Join us for an exceptional concert that explores the relationship among landscape, landscape architecture, and music, a program born of an unprecedented creative collaboration between George Steel, Abrams Curator of Music, and Charles Waldheim, Ruettgers Curator of Landscape and professor at Harvard Graduate School of Design.

Hear the prologue to Alceste, performed for Louis XIV in the gardens of Versailles. Beatrix Farrand’s plans for the gardens of a historic estate inspired Shaw’s piece, and Ives’s work captures the sounds of New York’s Central Park. This program is inspired by our founder’s long engagement with the natural world and love of the art of landscape and horticulture, and is performed by the Isabella Ensemble, the Olmsted Quartet, and special guests with conductor Julius Williams.”
