Shelter Music Boston delivers monthly chamber music concerts to
Greater Boston homeless shelters and substance misuse recovery centers, providing classical music as a social service. 
​
​Every note invests in the capacity of classical music to create social change
in environments of great need.

We believe all people deserve access to the dignity, creativity, and passion of classical music.

"Music is the catalyst for opportunities to look an individual in the eye and say
​'I want to know what you think about this, and I am going to listen to your story.' "
​Julie Leven, Founder and former Artistic Director
