Castle of our Skins is one of two ensembles chosen by the City of Boston to participate in the new Alternative Space Pilot Program. The program, launched by Boston Creates, is a new initiative to pair local businesses with musicians by offering free use of rehearsal space. Learn more about the program on the WBUR's The Artery press report and WBZ's radio interview, both or which features Castle of our Skins!
If you’re more curious about each other, maybe you’re more tolerant of each other and there’s greater social harmony. Maybe that’s too lofty, but I hope that people come away [from our concerts] with a greater appreciation, and then translate that into their daily interactions. |
In a season when major Boston institutions such as the BSO and Handel and Haydn Society continue to assert that women and minorities wrote no music worth hearing (with the BSO offering only occasional tokens as exceptions that prove the rule), it is important to notice the efforts being made by organizations that celebrate the works of usually marginalized groups. Castle of Our Skins is such an organization, offering both concerts and educational programming. |
