The Castle We Built: A Concert to Support the Future of Castle of our Skins
May 16, 2026 | Doors open at 6:30PM
Goethe-Institut Boston (170 Beacon St., Boston, MA)

For over a decade, Castle of our Skins has transformed the classical arts landscape — centering Black artistry, unearthing hidden histories, and cultivating cultural curiosity across generations.

This special benefit concert reunites co-founders Ashleigh Gordon and Anthony R. Green for an evening of reflection, world premieres, and celebration. Featuring music by Ed Bland, Jeffrey Mumford, Adolphus Hailstork, and Anthony R. Green, the program traces the artistic lineage that shaped Castle of our Skins — from first discoveries to newly commissioned works written specifically for this occasion.

As we honor the legacy built since 2013, we look ahead to our next chapter — including our new home at 566 Columbus Ave.

Join us for music, storytelling, and community as we raise $25,000 to sustain and expand Black artistry in Boston and beyond.

The Castle We Built is supported in part by the Goethe-Institut Boston. Please note this event is 21+. Cocktail attire suggested.
