Outreach

Our goal: to share the beauty and intrigue of historical performance with audiences everywhere.

CHARITABLE & COMMUNITY OUTREACH

7HB is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Our goal is not only to share beautiful music with our community, but also to identify where we can make a real, lasting impact beyond the stage.

For the 2023-2024 season, 7HB will donate up to 30% of proceeds from each regular-season concert to a local charity, unanimously selected and promoted at each concert by 7HB, in partnership with the selected charity.

By speaking directly with other nonprofit organizations and bringing people from all walks of life into to our spaces, we identify our community’s most pressing needs, connect deeply with others, and share our love for Baroque music with as many people as possible.

7HB is also currently working to finalize outreach programs in multiple Cincinnati neighborhoods.

ACCESSIBLE, AFFORDABLE CONCERTS

7HB performs in venues throughout the Greater Cincinnati area, from Hyde Park to Northside to downtown, broadening our audience and expanding accessibility. We also wish to keep most concerts free and easily accessible to the public.

MUSIC EDUCATION

Counting our members and frequent guests, 7HB musicians combined have almost three centuries of experience altogether performing and teaching music! To that end, we’re committed to educating audiences across Cincinnati about what we do. We use our concerts to share information and educate audiences, and we have performed educational programs throughout Greater Cincinnati, with plans being finalized to perform outreach programs in several Cincinnati neighborhoods.

HEAR EVERY VOICE

7HB’s events and concerts are a welcome and safe space for all. No matter who you are, you’re a welcome and cherished guest at our concerts. We believe in the power of music to bring communities together - music is a universal language, yet has the ability to unite us all without a single word!

We’re also committed to programming works by lesser-known composers alongside the great masters, ensuring that even those who are long gone and perhaps forgotten or even marginalized have a place among us at our concerts.
