NEC Prep Concert for the City

New England Conservatory’s yearlong celebration of its Preparatory School’s 75th anniversary will culminate in a free concert at the Edward A. Hatch Memorial Shell.

The festive, family-friendly Concert for the City, which will also celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States’ founding, will feature NEC Prep’s Youth Philharmonic Orchestra (YPO) in a performance that highlights many of the diverse musical traditions that have shaped our shared culture. Since its founding in 1867, NEC has been a cornerstone of Boston’s vibrant arts community. The Conservatory’s Prep School, established in 1950, has for generations been a leader in youth music education.

The Concert for the City on May 16 will feature the YPO, led by its conductor Juliano Aniceto, Director of NEC Prep Orchestras, in a performance that pays tribute to the United States’ semiquincentennial, NEC Prep’s 75th anniversary, and NEC’s place in and contributions to Boston’s cultural landscape.
