K²O Leadership Circles

In Kendall Square, discovery takes many forms. At the Kendall Square Orchestra (K²O), it finds expression through music. Our orchestra brings together musicians from the science, biotech, and technology sectors to create performances that inspire, connect, and give back to the community.

Leadership Circles are K²O’s season sponsorship program — the foundation that makes our concerts and community impact possible.

As a Circle member, you gain access to experiences few ever see: complimentary season tickets, early access to seats, and exclusive invitations to private salons, rehearsals, and backstage gatherings. Each benefit is designed to connect you more deeply with the music, the musicians, and the mission of Kendall Square Orchestra.

By joining a Circle, you align yourself with leaders who understand that music can open minds, strengthen community, and reflect the spirit of innovation that defines Kendall Square. Membership is more than support, it is a mark of vision, commitment, and civic leadership.

The Impact of Your Support

Every sponsorship is a catalyst:

  • Performances that fill Sanders Theatre with extraordinary music.

  • Collaborations that bridge art and science with world-class guest artists.

  • Community outreach concerts that open doors for those who would otherwise never hear live symphonic music.

  • Commissions and world premieres that carry the spirit of innovation into the future.

Your support sustains a vision of music as a driver of connection, curiosity, and compassion.

An Invitation, Not a Transaction

Season sponsorships are limited, and every circle carries a different story of belonging. Whether you choose Discovery, Innovation, or the Conductor’s Circle, your name will forever be part of K²O’s journey.
