About this Event

Spring has arrived, and so has the Linda Plaut Newton Festival of the Arts!

We’re opening the season in grand style! New Philharmonia Orchestra & Friends present Music for All! With soaring acoustics of the War Memorial Auditorium, world-class musicians and critically acclaimed soloists - it will be an evening that reminds us why live music moves the soul.

Music for All is a family-friendly concert featuring soprano Olga Lisovska and includes joyous brass, soulful strings and fabulous voices. The evening promises a perfect way to welcome spring and kick off the Linda Plaut Festival of the Arts. There will be a community sing-a-long and an Instrument Petting Zoo at the end of the performance.

Spark Newton would like to thank Maestro Jorge Soto, Music, Arts & Fashion Productions, WeStar Music Academy and Boston International Music Competition for their participation.

Presented by Spark Newton in collaboration with the City of Newton.

Free admission. All are welcome.
