Harvard Square Homeless Shelter Classical Music Fundraising Concert

We would like to invite you to the Harvard Square Homeless Shelter classical music fundraising event at the beautiful First Church Cathedral in Cambridge on May 23rd at 7 PM! The concert is free to attend and will feature a reception afterwards with food, music, and drinks! Here are some details about the cause and why we are hosting a fundraising event for this wonderful homeless shelter. The Harvard Square Homeless Shelter does some of the best work for the homeless community in all of Greater Boston. IEach and every day staff and volunteers provide support for residents, including helping them find jobs, rebuilding their lives, and providing essentials such as warm food, showers, and a warm welcoming enviornment. While they have accomplished a lot with what they have, the shelter could definitely use more funding. Less funding makes it more difficult to provide residents the tools to successfully transition into stable, independent lives. Despite these challenges, the individuals I met were some of the most kind, compassionate, and resilient people I have ever encountered, and my conversations with them showed me how quickly life circumstances can change and leave someone without support. Students of two of the most prestigous Classical Music conservatories in the country (The New England Conservatory and the Boston Conservatory) have agreed to volunteer their time and talent towards this cause! These students will be playing works composed by New England Conservatory Composers, and will be closing with the beautiful last movement of Mahlers 3rd symphony. This event will also feature a local activist who advocates for the homeless to read a poem she composed for the cause to the tune of music composed by a New England Conservatory student. The percentage of people experiencing homelessness in Boston has been rising at a staggering rate in recent years. These are real people with real lives who are struggling beyond imagine. That's what makes events like this so important, not only raising money for their needs, but also creating awareness within the community on how to help even if they cannot donate money. Thank you so much for your time, and we hope to see you there on May 23rd!
