Denise Simmons invite you to the opening reception of In the Key of Cambridge: A Celebration of Music & Music Venues.

This new exhibit traces 100 years of the city’s inspiring musical legacy.

From folk coffeehouses and blues clubs to punk venues, jazz stages, and street corners, Cambridge has shaped the soundtrack of generations.

Visitors will explore how artists, venues, and communities across Cambridge nurtured groundbreaking movements—from the 1960s folk revival to indie rock—while reflecting larger social currents like civil rights, anti-war protests, and multiculturalism.

Join us for live music, local history, and light refreshments.

This event is free, family-friendly and open to all.

The venue is ADA accessible.

The exhibit will be on dsiplay for the month of November, 2025.

Thank you to our tremendous partners: BXP, Cambridge Redevelopment Authority, Cambridge Arts, Harvard Square Business Association, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Rain date: Saturday, November 15, 2025, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM.
