A COMMUNITY SUPPORTED ORCHESTRA Beethoven's Symphony No.9 August 2, 2017 7 pm at the DCR’s Hatch Shell SPONSORED BY: Dear Concertgoer, We are thrilled that you have chosen to spend a summer evening with us at the DCR’s Hatch Memorial Shell on the banks of the Charles River for one of our 2017 series of free orchestral concerts. Last year, we celebrated our 15th anniversary as the Boston Landmarks Orchestra, and this year, we celebrate our 10th anniversary performing at this iconic and historic venue on the Esplanade. Our mission is to make orchestral music free and accessible to everyone in the greater Boston community, and visitors from near and far. We are proud of our Music Director Christopher Wilkins’s artistic integrity and musical leadership, as well as his “strategy of participation” to engage with community partners from all over our city, and youth and adults in every Boston neighborhood. We have grown fond of repeating the phrase “our concerts are free, but they are not free to produce!” The members of our orchestra are among Boston’s finest, most highly trained professional musicians. We provide the best sound engineering possible for our venue. And we invest significantly in our education and community outreach programs and our community partnerships. Please consider a suggested contribution of $20 to the Boston Landmarks Orchestra to help us continue this summertime tradition for many years to come, adding immeasurably to the quality of life in Boston. You may return the enclosed reply envelope and your contribution to one of our volunteers in blue t-shirts or drop it off at our Information Tent. Visit www.landmarksorchestra.org/donate to donate securely online. Contributions may also be mailed to: Boston Landmarks Orchestra, 214 Lincoln Street, Suite 331, Boston, MA 02134 Please enjoy the evening, and we hope to see you again soon.

The Orchestra—made up of some of Boston’s most accomplished professional musicians—uses great symphonic music as a means of gathering together people of all backgrounds and ages in joyful collaboration. The Orchestra regularly collaborates with a range of cultural and social service organizations to ensure participation across ethnic, economic, and cultural divides. The Boston Landmarks Orchestra is committed to BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS to access for people with disabilities. It offers braille, large-print, and text-to-speech programs, assisted listening devices, and ambassadors to greet and assist people at a handicapped drop-off point. The Orchestra works with American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters as performers at select concerts. Rather than providing direct translation of the spoken word, interpreters communicate the feeling of the music and the remarks given during the concert.
