BLO’s Street Stage makes its Jamaica Plain debut this fall, pairing a free all-ages concert with a treasured neighborhood community event. Join us for some of opera’s greatest hits, musical theatre, and more in front of Curtis Hall’s landmark facade, nestled between the Jamaica Plain branch of the Boston Public Library and the historic Loring Greenough House. Come early to participate in the Loring Greenough’s “Thursdays on the Lawn” event, where you can enjoy food trucks, a beer garden, and community before heading next door to Curtis Hall for our exciting concert program!
Featured Performers:
Morgan Mastrangelo (tenor)
Junhan Choi (baritone)
Ji Yung Lee (pianist)
This program is free and welcomes audiences of all ages. Playbills with texts and English translations of the multilingual program will be available on site.
Street Stage is supported by the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture and the City of Boston through the Neighborhood and Downtown Activation Grant.
