We hope you will join us at Amplify Berklee, a one-of-a-kind community celebration, and Berklee's 30th annual gala benefiting City Music! This year’s event will take place at the Westin Copley Place and include a cocktail reception, dinner, and entertainment from Berklee's talented student and alumni musicians as well as special guest artists in a variety of music rooms.
Berklee City Music is celebrating three decades of empowering young artists. All proceeds benefit the college’s educational outreach program that leverages the power of contemporary music to empower youth from underserved communities to develop musically, academically, socially, and emotionally. We are thrilled to report that last year's event raised over $1.2 million dollars.
For more information about this year's event or to learn more about sponsorships, please contact Lindsey Chinni, director of engagement and outreach, at lchinni@berklee.edu.
