Join us for an evening of contemporary music dedicated to the topic of social justice, intended to inspire thought and spark conversation. Ecce’s residency at the Athenæum reflects the institution’s historically significant role as a hub of civic discourse. This performance will feature music from around the world that seeks to confront social justice issues in abstract, thoughtful, and poignant ways. Works commissioned at Ecce’s annual summer music festival will contribute to this powerful melodic dialogue.
Registration begins February 6 at 9 am.

The Athenæum's five galleried floors overlook the peaceful Granary Burying Ground, and, as Gamaliel Bradford wrote in 1931, "it is safe to say that [no library] anywhere has more an atmosphere of its own, that none is more conducive to intellectual aspiration and spiritual peace." The building was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1966.
