Don’t miss this symphony performance
Hear classically trained musicians who work in tech and life sciences in the Kendall Square area play at the fourth annual Symphony for Science event June 4 at Boston’s Symphony Hall. The Kendall Square Orchestra, affectionately called K2O, includes more than 80 musicians who aim to inspire through music while supporting causes related to health care and STEM education. About 75 percent of concert proceeds will benefit Next Step, a Cambridge-based nonprofit that provides services to those with life-threatening diseases as they transition from pediatric to adult care. The program includes a performance of the original song “Come and Walk a Mile,” created by K2O and Next Step, which conveys the story of perseverance, moving forward, and aiming high for young people who live with a rare disease. Renowned violinist and disability advocate Adrian Anantawan, who was born without a right hand and has performed from the Olympic Games and Carnegie Hall to the White House, will deliver the keynote address and be the featured soloist for Sarasate’s “Zigeunerweisen” (he’s also the founder of Boston’s Music Inclusion Program). Tickets $25-$125. www.symphonyforscience.org
