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.
