Amplify Home

A peer-to-peer fundraising campaign for Symphony for Science

This spring, Kendall Square Orchestra takes the stage at Symphony Hall for a concert that’s bigger than music.

or

Symphony for Science: Finding Home in Music is a performance dedicated to the crisis of homelessness — not just as a housing issue, but as a human one.

At the center: music by Dvořák, Schubert, and Reena Esmail.
Beside us: leaders in public health, and women who’ve experienced homelessness, singing as part of our Women’s Chorus.

Amplify Home is our way of turning up the volume on the message behind the music. This peer-to-peer campaign helps us raise the funds that will bring this story to life — and support Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program, a national leader in compassionate, comprehensive care.

Join us.
Because home begins with being heard.

  • Hey friends,

    This May, I’m part of something that’s more than a performance — it’s a movement.

    It’s called Symphony for Science: Finding Home in Music, and it’s our orchestra’s response to one of the most urgent, deeply human challenges of our time: homelessness. We’ll perform powerful works by Dvořák, Schubert, and Reena Esmail — and we’ll share the stage with women who’ve lived through this crisis firsthand.

    We’ll be joined by The Women’s Chorus — a group of women who’ve experienced homelessness — singing shoulder to shoulder with us. Alongside them: leaders in public health and social justice, each contributing their voice to this moment. Together, we’re using music to share a story that too often goes unheard.

    I’m raising [insert amount] to help bring this project to life and to support Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program, an organization delivering critical care and compassion to people who need it most.

    If you believe music can move people to action — I hope you’ll join me.

    With gratitude and purpose,
    [Your Name]
