MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR AND PRESIDENT & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Friends, Welcome to Bravo!, our overview of Celebrity Series’ 80th season. This was a season of many highlights, starting with Jazz Along the Charles, our sixth public performance project, in which 25 jazz ensembles gathered at a series of connected, walkable locations along the Charles River Esplanade, interpreting a curated list of Boston-related tunes in one collective concert that celebrated the great jazz community in Boston today. The season was filled with great performances with an unprecedented number of artist debuts. We presented the fifth season of Stave Sessions, our mini-festival of new, contemporary artists. We continue to attract new households to our audiences and our donor base grew for a fifth consecutive year. Thanks to your generous support and attendance, Celebrity Series posted another operating surplus. And we are pleased to announce the success of our LIVE PERFORMANCE! Arts for All campaign. As another season approaches, we remain deeply grateful to our Board of Directors and Overseers, our donors and audiences, and to all who support the performing arts in Boston. We look forward to seeing you at a performance this season. With gratitude,
Joshua Boger Chair, Board of Directors
Gary Dunning President & Executive Director

JAZZ ALONG THE CHARLES On Sunday, September 23, twenty-five jazz ensembles gathered along a one-mile stretch of the Charles River Esplanade, each interpreting the same curated set list of Boston-related tunes in their own style, creating one collective concert that celebrated the great jazz community in Boston today. 10,000+ people came out to discover new songs, artists, and areas of the Esplanade. Jazz Along the Charles was a free public event, part of Celebrity Series’ commitment to free public performance experiences for the people of Boston.
