Event Description:

Landmarks Orchestra's concerts are free orchestra concerts held on the Hatch Shell, that aim to bring world-class music to everyone for free.

What we'll be doing:

Volunteers will be setting up and breaking down chairs, answering patron questions, giving out surveys and program sheets, talking to patrons about the concerts.

What you should know:

Please bring water bottles and snacks! Dress for the warm weather - there is no strict dress code. All volunteers will be given credentials to have access backstage, which is an air conditioned area. It's highly recommended that volunteers take the MBTA to the Esplanade/Hatch Shell, as there is no parking directly next to the venue. The main parking is about a 0.5 mile distance from the venue, either on Charles St. (street parking) or at the Boston Common Garage. Note that Boston Landmarks Orchestra does not reimburse for parking expenses/fees.

All volunteers must be up to date with their latest vaccinations.

 

Where to Meet:

Volunteers can check in at the Information Table, which is located on the Storrow Drive side of the DCR Hatch Shell at 5:30pm, the day of the concert.  Concert staff will be available at the Information Tent at all times, so someone will be able to help volunteers, if they arrive late.

Boston Landmarks Orchestra:

The Boston Landmarks Orchestra was founded in 2001 by the late Charles Ansbacher as an extension of his desire to make the arts a significant part of peoples lives, regardless of their wealth or education. In its earliest years, the orchestra performed in such historically important settings as Fenway Park, the USS CONSTITUTION pier, Jamaica Pond, Franklin Park, Copley Square, Boston Common, and other landmark locations. Since 2007, its principal home has been at the DCRs Hatch Memorial Shell. The orchestra has also embarked on collaborations with other organizations, including the Conservatory Lab Charter School, Boston Lyric Opera, the Museum of African American History, and a host of others. Music students from area schools, including Berklee College of Music, the Longy School of Music of Bard College, and the New England Conservatory of Music, join in these outreach efforts.
