These performances promote community, creative interaction, respect, and therapeutic benefit for shelter guests. We believe everyone deserves access to the dignity, creativity, and passion of classical music whether or not they have a home.

Results: In three years Shelter Music Boston has performed over 100 concerts in seven shelters in Boston. Musicians return again and again to the same shelters to bring the dignity, creativity, and passion of classical music.
