Local composers and organizers collaborate to produce a performance at Somerville’s new Boynton Yards innovation hub. The concert features works for voice, harp, woodwinds, and strings, performed by small ensembles, including Wood Harbor Chamber Ensemble, conducted by Elijah Langille, The Pandora Consort, Three at Home, and Rachel Burckardt with the Random Consort. Rachel Burckardt, a local composer and producer based at The Hive, the creative and innovator space in Boynton Yards, is the featured composer.

The music spans the millennia, from pre-Baroque to post-Folk, an intersection of contemporary classical with early music, jazz, and pop: a smorgasbord of sounds and textures.

In concept, “Music Meets Life Sciences” was born as a collaboration of its producers and the concert venue, Boynton Yards, Somerville’s new innovation hub, intersecting life science, culture and community, embedded in the world's preeminent biotech supercluster. Boynton’s state-of-the-art performance space at 101 South Street spans a large section of its main floor community center, the perfect juncture for a concert. Following Burckardt’s very successful debut performance of “Mount Auburn, Requiem in d minor” last fall, the accomplished musician and the premiere’s conductor Elijah Langille immediately began planning their next collaboration.
