Our Mission

Symphony for Science is a bi-annual benefit concert that embodies the spirit of innovation and compassion.

We bring together local corporate sponsors, community organizations, and audiences to raise awareness, funds, and hope for critical causes in healthcare and STEM education.

Impact Through Music

Since its inception in spring 2019, the Kendall Square Orchestra has been the driving force behind Symphony for Science, raising over $125,000 to support local organizations.

Our events resonate with the power of music, turning each note into a beacon of hope and progress.
