Concerts in Dialogue With Art and Audience

The Renewal Series©: Concerts in Dialogue with Art and Audience is a pioneering event whose overarching goal is to create a sense of community, connection, and belonging through our interactive discussion-concerts. Conceived by its Artistic Directors, Hsin-Lin and Miguel, as a response to the challenges posed by the COVID pandemic, the programs are designed to awaken artistic curiosity and to help us all make new connections to the music, art, and literature we present.

Committed to arts education as a fundamental element in our communities, we are proud to be partnering with Pucker Gallery and the Boston Arts Academy and we have continued to mentor talented students from BAA as active participants in the Series, so they can put their education and creativity into practice in a professional setting.
