Music for Food: Voices from the United Kingdom

NEC: Brown Hall | Directions

290 Huntington Ave.
Boston, MA
United States

Music for Food is a musician-led initiative to fight hunger in our local communities.  According to Feeding America, 1 in 9 people in the United States struggles with food insecurity. Music for Food’s concerts have raised funds to create close to 2 million meals.

Our mission: We believe both music and food are essential to human life and growth.  Music has the power to call forth the best in us, inspiring awareness and action when artists and audiences work together to transform ineffable musical experiences into tangible and needed food resources.

Now in its 13 season, Music for Food presents a four-concert series in NEC's Brown Hall, "Notes from Across the Sea."

Suggested donation is $30+, and $10+ for students, collected at the door. 100% of donations for this concert will benefit Women’s Lunch Place, a day shelter serving women experiencing homelessness, hunger, and poverty in the greater Boston area.

All attendees must show proof of vaccination or a negative test within 72 hours of the concert at the door. Reservations are required — please visit this event page to reserve your seat!
