Longwood Symphony Orchestra

Healing our Community through Music

Longwood Symphony Orchestra is pleased to announce that, as a part of Nourishing the Community Through Music, we will also be participating in Orchestras Feeding America, and collecting food donations for the Greater Boston Food Bank.


" March 2010 is Orchestras Feeding America month and the need in our communities has never been greater.  The New York Times cited a recent Department of Agriculture study, saying, 'The number of Americans who lived in households that lacked consistent access to adequate food soared last year to 49 million.' With the number of hungry Americans growing daily, we hope that you will join the ranks of orchestras making a difference in their communities.

Last year, with more than 250 orchestras representing all 50 states, Orchestras Feeding America was the single largest orchestra project serving communities nationwide, collecting over 200,000 pounds of food for local communities.  The League is so proud to have been a part of this effort, and hope you are as inspired by the power of our numbers as we are." - Taken from www.americanorchestras.org
