In this special presentation by Amanda Palmer, classic orchestra and punk cabaret collide to take her goth performance art to a new level. While some have called it theatrical rock, punk cabaret, manic-musical, neo-glam-torch,… eventually even the most clever and creative describers shrug and say: “You just have to hear it to believe it.” EdgeFest Café After each EdgeFest concert, hear the best of today's emerging talent. The Luminescent Orchestrii, a gypsy tango klezmer punk acoustic string band from New York City, will perform after Amanda Palmers' Edgefest concerts on June 19 and 20 at Symphony Hall. Single tickets are available by calling SymphonyCarge at (888) 266-1200, the Symphony Hall Box Office on the web at www.bostonpops.org.

We have built or renovated 704 units of rental housing, 63 cooperative ownership units, and 149 home ownership units. We have broadened our programs to include resident technology training, job linkage programs, and multiple activities for youth and local schools.

In 2001 we brought Hellas Video and Hellas Restaurant to their commercial building at 756 Dudley Street in Uphams Corner. Dorchester Bay EDC also conducted an environmental site assessment of the Daloz Dry Cleaners building, which enabled the artist-owners to access state Brownfield resources, insure liability protection, buy the property inexpensively, and create 22 artist studios in the old buildings.
