Thank you to everyone who stopped by our pop-up concert outside Dudley Cafe earlier last month! Performed by our friends from Goodwill and led by music therapist Hannah Johnson as part of the 50th Anniversary of the CMCB Music Therapy Program, it was especially meaningful to celebrate alongside a partner who has been with us for more than 20 years.
Seeing so many people stop, listen, sing, dance, and share the moment was a touching reminder of the power of music therapy—and music’s incredible ability to bring people together!

Join us tomorrow for our last Community Conversation of the year in China Town's POW Art center with panelists Ben Hires, Robert George, Kelley Chunn, and Suzanne Lee moderated by our very own Lecolion washington!

Thank you to everyone who braved the wind and rain to celebrate 50 years of Music Therapy at CMCB with us at our May Community Conversation! The evening was truly defined by community, which our wonderful panelist Kimberly Khare described so beautifully as “a place where you know you belong.”
We’re grateful to have shared this special milestone with so many members of our community. Stay tuned for more photos and memories from our 50 Years of Music Therapy events!

We’re so honored to have been nominated as a finalist in Boston Parent’s Boston Family Favorites! Voting is officially open through June 22nd — we’d be so grateful for your support. Show us some love and cast your vote for us today!

Save the date for our final Community Conversation of the school year: The Future We Build Together: Roxbury, Chinatown, and CMCB in Conversation!

Join community leaders from Roxbury and Chinatown at the Pao Arts Center as we reflect on how these neighborhoods have evolved, discuss the challenges they face today, and explore how we can work together to build a stronger shared future for generations to come.

May is just around the corner, and we’re so excited to announce Then, Now, and Next: 50 Years of Community Music Therapy at CMCB—a series of events across Boston celebrating 50 years of Music Therapy at CMCB!
We’re kicking off the celebration this weekend with a Mini Music Therapy event at Atlantic Wharf. We hope to see you at one of our events and can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for CMCB Creates, both in person at Allen Hall and online! It was such a joy to experience a wide range of original works written and performed by our faculty and staff.
From the playful opening piece by Manuel García-Baró, performed by students, to Everything is Fine by Jared Field, Sprout by Aditi Malhotra, and Orsino’s Lament by A.J. Gaudreau, the night was full of memorable moments. We closed with Fatherhood (Suite for Solo Bassoon) by Manuel García-Baró, performed by our Executive Director, Lecolion Washington.
We hope you had as much fun as we did and can't wait to see you again next year!
