About The LSO’s Healing Art of Music™ Program
For 32 years, the LSO has performed its annual four-concert series at New England
Conservatory’s Jordan Hall, one of the most celebrated concert halls in Boston, to
diverse audiences of 700-1000 attendees including prominent members of Boston’s
medical community, community and business leaders, and classical music lovers.
Composed primarily of medical professionals who are also highly trained musicians, the
LSO established the Healing Art of Music program, an award-winning business model
through which it uses its concerts to help nonprofit organizations raise funds for
Boston's medically underserved. Since 1991, the LSO has collaborated with more than
45 organizations, helping them raise more than $1,000,000.
Prior to each concert season, the LSO Community Engagement Committee chooses the
Community Partners for the upcoming season through a competitive application
process. Any nonprofit organization with a medical or educational mission based in
Greater Boston may be considered. Nominee organizations are evaluated for strength
of mission and vision, infrastructure, and capacity for growth.

Shattuck Partners Takes the Hospital to the Community
For the first time, Shattuck Partners
reserved a table at this year’s Wake
Up the Earth Festival in Jamaica
Plain on Saturday, May 3rd.
Volunteers staffed the table, inviting
passersby to learn more about the
Lemuel Shattuck Hospital and
Shattuck Partners. A free
raffle was offered, compliments of
Shattuck Partners, and more than
150 people entered, sharing their
contact information so we can stay
in touch. It was a beautiful day, and
those who stopped by the table
were very supportive and excited to
learn more!
According to Spontaneous
Celebrations, the event organizer,
Wake Up the Earth began in 1979
and is a celebration of what can be
accomplished when people of all
traditions, cultures, ages, and beliefs
come together in community
collaboration. More than 10,000
people attend the Wake Up the Earth
festival each year, enjoying music,
performances, and the many craft,
non-profit, and food vendors who line
up along Lamartine and surrounding
streets.
