The Mission of the New England Philharmonic, a volunteer orchestra, is to foster the composition and the appreciation of contemporary classical music by performing commissions and recent works alongside traditional repertoire in concerts that engage and electrify audiences.

The NEP is proud to participate in the Card to Culture program.

Card to Culture is a collaboration between Mass Cultural Council, the Department of Transitional Assistance, the Women, Infants & Children (WIC) Nutrition Program, and the Massachusetts Health Connector.
The goal, in line with our Pay as You Wish ticketing, is to broaden accessibility to cultural programming. 

EBT, WIC, and ConnectorCare cardholders can call (855) 463-7445 or email manager@nephilharmonic.org to reserve up to four free tickets.
Present your card at the box office Will Call during the 60 minutes before the performance.

NEP IN THE NEWS

Join Us at a Concert

The NEP presents at least four public concerts annually, in which each program combines both new and less familiar traditional classical music, including many Boston, U.S., and world premieres.

NEP Chamber Players

The New England Philharmonic broadens appreciation of contemporary music and reaches out to new audiences through the NEP Chamber Players, composed of players from the brass, strings, and woodwind sections of the full orchestra. The Chamber Players often create unique programs in collaboration with entities that sponsor performances.

Listening In

Listening In is your opportunity to sit in on fun and lively conversations with the composers and artists on NEP’s concerts this season, hosted by NEP Composer-in-residence Eric Nathan and NEP Concertmaster Danielle Maddon.
