With the Adapt not Cancel program, The Boite has ensured a vibrant and dynamic program throughout the year without skipping a beat. We have been providing work and artistic opportunities for culturally and linguistically diverse musicians, sound technicians and producers.

The Boite believes everybody should have the opportunity to engage with art and music, regardless of financial situation.

That’s why throughout September and October, for our Sunday series of concerts, we are reducing ticket costs and taking on the difference to make our music even more accessible.

Our 5 concerts for $5 series is a quality musical program of high-calibre artists that makes it even easier to engage with our online concerts. Five spectacular concerts, all at only $5 each throughout September and October.
