Everyone is welcome at Landmarks Orchestra concerts. On the Esplanade, audiences are encouraged to bring a picnic—and even dogs are invited. Celebrate another summer of music-making under the stars!

Boston Landmarks Orchestra, under the direction of Music Director Christopher Wilkins, announces its 25th anniversary season of free summer concerts, bringing live orchestral music to some of the city’s most beloved outdoor and neighborhood spaces from June 14 to August 27, 2025. The concerts and events celebrate community and the joy of music-making with a lineup of performances at the DCR Hatch Memorial Shell on the Esplanade and throughout Boston’s neighborhoods.

Highlights include a collaborative performance with the New England Aquarium, the third annual Juneteenth concert, works by great American composers such as John Williams and Amy Beach, iconic works such as Mahler’s First Symphony and Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony, two guest ensembles, a free family community event, and more.
