Community Calendar

Celebrated for creating diverse, timely and relevant opera, activist opera company White Snake Projects (WSP) returns to The Strand Theatre, June 28, 2025, for the world premiere of To The People Like Us, in a season dedicated to addressing the climate crisis through art. Marking the company’s inaugural community opera, To The People Like Us was collaboratively written by local teenage students of 826 Boston’s Youth Literacy Advisory Board. To The People Like Us is an original timely story exploring issues of gentrification, climate change, and development in Boston. Set to original music by Mexican-American composer Jorge Sosa, a quartet of singers will be accompanied by a classical musical ensemble.

“Alpine Jazz Adventure”
Celebrity cellist Amit Peled joins the Bay Atlantic Symphony and will play a work he has long championed, the eclectic concerto by Austrian pianist/composer/philosopher Friederich Gulda. The work is for cello and wind orchestra with a jazz rhythm section and bounces between swing and funk, to rustic Austrian folk melodies. It is tuneful and dramatic, with wildly expressive passages. The evening’s program begins with one of the greatest of all wind serenades, by Mozart. The audience will also have the joy of experiencing Mr. Peled’s intensely expressive artistry performing solo Bach.
