The Celebrity Series of Boston

We are a multi-disciplinary non-profit performing arts presenter, founded in 1938.

Our mission is to enrich and inspire our community through exceptional live performances.

Our subscription series is the core of our business since 1938: we present renowned artists at venues across Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville. We are one of the nation’s most highly regarded independent presenting organizations, partnering with established, internationally-acclaimed artists and emerging talent to curate a diverse lineup of performances.

Top local artists perform free and low-cost concerts in Neighborhood Arts, often brought to life through deep collaboration and co-creation with youth arts groups, at community venues in six Boston neighborhoods. Our Take Your Seat ticketing program makes subscription season performances accessible for community organizations and school groups, and Artist Connections brings masterclasses and workshops to students of all ability levels.
