Mission, Vision, Values, and Cultural Equity Statement


Mission
Shelter Music Boston presents classical chamber music concerts, of the highest artistic standards, in homeless shelters and other sheltering environments.  Our goal is to promote community, creative interaction, respect, and therapeutic benefit.  We believe all people deserve access to the dignity, creativity, and passion of classical music whether or not they have a home. 

Vision

We envision a world in which classical music is embraced as an integral component of professionally delivered social services in sheltering environments.

Quality
Shelter Music Boston is committed to employing professional musicians to bring music of the highest artistic quality to the sheltering environments we serve.

Consistency
Shelter Music Boston is committed to investing in the communities in which we perform by building relationships with the shelter guests and staff through our repeated visits.

Respect
We affirm the dignity and potential of all individuals. We believe all people should be treated with respect. This includes consistency, reliability, and professionalism in all our interactions.

Innovation
​We are committed to positioning SMB as an innovative social service organization on all levels, from program delivery to operations to donor involvement to evaluating impact.  We have a new vision for the classical music industry, in which live classical music is used broadly in our communities as a tool for change and the common good.



Definition of Cultural Equity
Cultural equity embodies the values, policies, and practices that ensure that all people—including but not limited to those who have been historically marginalized based on race/ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, socioeconomic status, geography, citizenship status, or religion—are represented in the development of arts policy; the support of artists; the nurturing of accessible, thriving venues for expression; and the fair distribution of programmatic, financial, and informational resources.
