Digital Performances

Celebrity Series at Home

Streaming concerts continue in the 2022/23 season, with free Neighborhood Arts concerts for you to enjoy on YouTube, and on-demand digital tickets available for select subscription series concerts.

Our streaming broadcasts program began as an initiative to keep artists working in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, and has continued as a key component of our Neighborhood Arts and subscription performance series.

This season, we're excited to share two options for enjoying Celebrity Series digital concerts.

On-demand digital tickets to select subscription concerts

A number of concerts this season will offer the option to enjoy a high-quality edited streaming version, premiering 48 hours after the live event. The streaming version will be available for up to seven days so you can watch at your convenience!

Finding HOME: Music and Poetry

Tim Hall and Maria Finkelmeier team up for Finding HOME, a program of self-composed music and improvisations for saxophone and marimba, as well as other percussion, electronics, and poetry. The duo explore their very different midwestern roots, and their compositions are inspired by the routes that they took in their life journeys across the United States, to other countries, and back again to find their homes and cultivate community in Boston.

Claudio Ragazzi Quartet

GRAMMY-winning guitarist and composer Claudio Ragazzi brings the influences of his native Argentina to his Latin jazz-inflected quartet. The band will play selections from a forthcoming album, as well as other selections from Ragazzi's extensive catalogue.

A prolific film and TV composer when he's not headlining or performing alongside some of music's biggest stars, Ragazzi creates evocative moods that unmistakably capture the spirit of places and moments.

Recorded in September 2021 at the Arlington Street Church; Available to stream through May 15.
