OUTREACH PROGRAMS

Arpeggione’s free outreach programs allow people who would not otherwise have the opportunity to hear first-class live chamber music performances. Our outreach concerts not only feature the same one-of-a-kind programs as our “regular” season concerts, they are the inspiration that drives our joyful, accessible, immersive performances.

We are proud to participate in Mass Cultural Council's Card to Culture program, in collaboration with the Department of Transitional Assistance, the Women, Infants & Children (WIC) Nutrition Program, and the Massachusetts Health Connector, by broadening accessibility to cultural programming. EBT, WIC, and ConnectorCare cardholders can purchase discounted $5 tickets, either online or by calling 978-500-7766 (limited number available). See the complete list of participating organizations offering EBTWIC, and ConnectorCare discounts.
