Claflin Hill's Mission is to entertain, educate and enrich a vibrant cultural community through live musical performances by the region's finest professional musicians.

Our vision is that a world class musical organization can grow in the suburbs and support hundreds of local professional musicians who have come to call our region home, build their careers and raise their families here in MetroWest.

Over the past two and a half decades, Claflin Hill has created a venue for great music of ALL genres and styles here in MetroWest and has provided employment and performance opportunities for over 200 professional musicians each year.

At Claflin Hill, we see our orchestra and all of our diverse concert offerings as performances beyond “concerts” – they are “vehicles of community.”  

We use every opportunity to educate and cultivate a new audience for live music- in particular, classical music. Claflin Hill concerts are unique in that the performers engage the audience by sharing insights, background and themes of the works that the orchestra is about to perform. This unique practice of concertizing creates a vibrant and tangible energy between the audience and the performers that elevates, inspires and educates our community about the rich cultural heritage that we have been gifted by our forebears.   

As one CHSO musician recently stated at the end of another spectacular evening, “At Claflin Hill, performances are beyond being “concerts” – they are “Life Events!”
