Announcing our 2022-23 Season: Forgotten Voices - A Season of Discovery
For over three decades, we have delighted in introducing audiences to “rediscovered” works that history has overlooked. In our 34th season, we bring you more “rediscovered” works than ever, curating each program and our new Delving Deeper Episode to feature little-known composers or performers worthy of celebration. Join us to experience these centuries-old novelties!

This season, we resume in-person subscriptions and continue offering online subscriptions. In-person subscriptions also include an online subscription! There will be two performances of each program—one in Boston, and one in Wayland, Sudbury, or Worcester—reuniting concertgoers with the beautiful ambiance of historical venues.
