Charles Overton is a Boston-based harpist and performer of classical, jazz, and world music. He began his harp studies at the age of ten, and was afforded the opportunity at an early age to perform internationally in such notable venues as Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall. He performs regularly in symphonic settings with the Boston Pops, the BSO, and others, as well as appearing in jazz settings, both leading his own bands and collaborating with others. He'll be joined for this performance by longtime collaborator Peter Barnick on drums. Charles and Peter began making music together as teenagers, when both were students at the prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan.

Alcohol is not permitted. Refreshments are available for sale. Please bring your own lawn chairs and blankets. Dogs on leashes are welcome. In the event of rain, the concert will be indoors. Please call 617-994-6600 for more information.
