Two great nonprofits join forces to celebrate the arts!
May 4, 2017
6:30pm–8:30pm
Shelter Music Boston brings the healing power of live classical music to the Metropolitan Wateworks Museum. Come see the magnificent Gilded Age Waterworks building opposite the Chestnut Hill Reservoir and hear the music of the era. Through their works, SMB and the Waterworks share a mission of improving the lives of Boston area residents by providing access to innovative arts and culture experiences.
Julie Leven and Shelter Music Boston musicians will perform an interactive concert based on the model SMB presents monthly in Greater Boston homeless shelters. The audience will be encouraged to ask questions and interact with the musicians during this concert and will gain an understanding of the dramatic ways in which classical chamber music concerts change the lives of homeless individuals. Tickets are $20 and benefit both organizations.

Moving Water: From Ancient Innovations to Modern Challenges
Ancient civilizations engineered water systems that sustained communities for thousands of years. This exhibition spotlights six places that innovated ways to deliver, and control water for human use. It also looks at how climate change is impacting all of those places, forcing public officials to consider new ways to keep the water flowing.
