April 21: Castle of our Skins, Alisa Weilerstein, and More!

Dear John,

Celebrity Series at Home brings you new digital content specially curated by our talented and inspiring Neighborhood Arts artists. This week we are premiering a video featuring the concert and education series Castle of Our Skins with partner school students from the Boston String Academy and Josiah Quincy Elementary School Orchestra Program. They perform the virtual world premiere of Castle of our Skins’ Associate Artistic Director and composer Anthony Green’s newest work, Catto’s Courage, commissioned by the Celebrity Series. Octavius Catto was a freedom fighter and educator who fought for civil rights in the 19th century.

Tune in this Thursday at 7 pm to our Facebook page or YouTube channel to watch this virtual world premiere!
