Community Outreach at the BSO
An important component of the Boston Symphony Orchestra's mission is to encourage music education and strengthen ties with our surrounding communities. In support of this, the Boston Symphony Orchestra performs Community Chamber Concerts for thousands of children and adults throughout New England each year.

Chamber concerts are followed by a casual reception where audience members and musicians can meet to talk about music, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and much more. This season we are proud to present eight free Community Chamber Concerts performed on Sundays at 3pm at various sites.

Boston Symphony Orchestra Community Chamber Concerts introduce the magic of the Boston Symphony concert experience to people in the Greater Boston area and provide an opportunity for families to spend quality time together.

Admission is free, but you must reserve tickets no later than two weeks prior to the concert.
