Revels is proud to partner with the following organizations in presenting seasonal and community celebrations throughout Massachusetts:
Charles River Conservancy (RiverSing partner): The CRC is a nonprofit citizens’ advocacy group founded in 2000 and dedicated to the renewal and stewardship of the Charles River Parklands from the Boston Harbor to the Watertown Dam. The Conservancy works to make these parklands more attractive, active and accessible to all while striving to create better understanding of the best uses of the Charles River Basin through education, public dialogue, and interpretive programs. The CRC has been Revels’ main collaborator on RiverSing since the event’s inception in 2004.
Harvard Square Business Association (RiverSing partner) The Harvard Square Business Association was founded in 1910 and was incorporated May 20, 1936 with an established purpose: to advance the commercial, industrial and public interests of Harvard Square, to promote a commercial exchange, to accumulate and give to its members business information, to adjust controversies and misunderstandings, to establish and maintain uniformity in commercial transactions, and to promote just and equitable principles of trade.
Perkins School for the Blind: (Community partner) Since 1832, Perkins School for the Blind has been an innovative leader in serving people with visual impairments. Strong leadership from both staff and the Board of Trustees has created a legacy of education and discovery, always striving to best serve students in the classroom, in the community and around the world. Based in Watertown, Massachusetts, Perkins has been a Revels partner since 2000, hosting the annual “Celebration of Spring” featuring Revels chorus members, special guest artists and Perkins School students.
UpStairs on the Square (The Christmas Revels partner): UpStairs on the Square (formerly UpStairs at the Pudding), is one of the state's premiere restaurants. Founded in 1982 by Mary-Catherine Deibel and Deborah Hughes, UpStairs on the Square is known for its hospitality as well as its food. Conveniently located on Winthrop Street, in the heart of Harvard Square, the restaurant offers several exciting Christmas Revels dinner packages each year and is a gallant supporter of Revels year-round programming and fund-raising efforts.
