This season, we’re partnering with Mothers’ Milk Bank Northeast,
a Newton based nonprofit providing donor milk to medically fragile infants
in hospital NICUs. The milk bank also provides donor milk to families in
our community who need a safe short-term feeding supplement for their
newborn. Show your support for premature and medically fragile babies by
donating to Mothers’ Milk Bank Northeast, and learn more about them at the show.

At this challenging time of escalating antisemitism, join us to celebrate the enduring power of Jewish composers.
Delight in the music of the Jewish composers Felix Mendelssohn, Ernest Bloch, and George Gershwin. Performing the works are Border Colleagues, a collaboration of three virtuosic musicians from Canada, Spain, and US who connect across geographic boundaries to celebrate music-making together.
