Music for Food presents: Notes from Across the Sea

Boston’s Thirteenth Music for Food Series Opens its Season with a Program of French Chamber Music on September 18th to benefit Women’s Lunch Place!

Notes from Across the Sea–Music for Food’s 13th Boston core concert season–kicks off at 7:30pm on Sunday, September 18, in New England Conservatory’s Brown Hall, with Franck’s Piano Quintet, Debussy’s Cello Sonata, and Martin’s Quatre sonnets à Cassandre. The stupendous and generous artists who have donated their time and talent to this program include: Andrius Zlabys, Miriam Fried, Paul Biss, Kim Kashkashian, Marcy Rosen, Guy Fishman, Renana Gutman, Krista River, Stephanie Fong, Vanessa Holroyd, Jing Li. Admission is free, and all donations will benefit Women’s Lunch Place (WLP), which will soon launch its 40th anniversary of providing needed resources to vulnerable women in Boston.

• Thanks in part to MFF’s $22,918.12 contribution last season, WLP prepared and served a record 111,009 healthy meals in the last fiscal year. This comes at a critical time, because:
• One in three adults in Massachusetts experienced food insecurity last year
• Grocery prices are higher than they’ve been since WLP’s inception

Additional Details:

Suggested donation is $30+ and $10+ for students, collected at the door. 100% of donations will benefit Women's Lunch Place—a day shelter serving women experiencing homelessness, hunger, and poverty in the greater Boston area.

Masks required and proof of vaccination will be checked at the door.
