Unique Programming– Landmarks showcases works by  composers of color and women, who orchestras have historically ignored. We often perform styles outside the Western canon such as jazz, spirituals, and hip-hop. We also feature music from around the world like Haiti, Syria, Armenia, and Korea.

Community Collaboration– Authentic, reciprocal collaboration with diverse groups is at the heart of Landmarks programming. Almost every concert involves at least one community partner! Many of our commissioned pieces have been co-written by Black, brown, and low-income students from organizations like Camp Harbor View and ZUMIX. Other longtime partners include Conservatory Lab Charter School, Boston String Academy, Jean Appolon Expressions, and Castle of Our Skins.

Breaking Down Barriers– Our Breaking Down Barriers initiative increases access to our concerts for those with disabilities. Accommodations include text-to-speech digital programs, a priority seating section, and ambassadors to greet and assist concertgoers. ASL interpreters communicate the feeling of the music performed from the stage. Another barrier that Landmarks has broken down is financial: Every Landmarks concert is 100% free to attend.
