The program’s clearest guide is its authors, not a list of pieces: the Jazz Composers Alliance Orchestra is scheduled to present music by four Berklee faculty composers at Berklee Performance Center on Nov. 9.
What the composer credits tell you
The announced composers are Bob Pilkington, Dave Harris, Mimi Rabson and Darrell Katz. Neither Berklee’s event listing nor Do617 names individual compositions, so visitors cannot use the announcement to plan around a particular work.
The composer credits also are not a performer roster: the orchestra is billed as presenting the faculty members’ music, but the listings do not say that the composers themselves will perform. The published focus is the orchestra’s presentation of their work, rather than a confirmed set list.

Directions and Parking | Berklee ↗ · Accessibility | Berklee ↗
Driving
From the west, Berklee directs drivers on the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) to Exit 22 at the Prudential Center. From the south, take I-93 north to the Massachusetts Avenue/Roxbury exit. From the north, use I-93 south or Route 1 south toward Storrow Drive and the Fenway exit, then follow the directions toward Boylston Street and Massachusetts Avenue.
Parking, including accessible spaces
Metered street parking near Berklee is limited. Nearby garages named by the venue are Hynes Auditorium Garage, 50 Dalton Street; Haviland Street Garage, 5 Haviland Street and 1085 Boylston Street; Back Bay Hilton parking on Dalton Street; Danker and Donohue Garage, 341 Newbury Street; Central Parking Jazz, 1087 Boylston Street; and Sheraton Boston Hotel Parking Garage, 39 Dalton Street. Berklee recommends reserving parking in advance through SpotHero; garage rates can change, so confirm prices with the operator.
Hynes Auditorium Garage lists a $5 discount for patrons on weekdays after 4 p.m. and on weekends. The House Manager can validate parking tickets on performance nights; Berklee advises paying at the exit gate rather than at the garage kiosks.
Accessible spaces are available at area garages and lots; accessible street parking is extremely limited. Berklee says a placard may be used in spaces designated for accessible parking. Massachusetts law allows vehicles with proper disability parking authority to disregard most, but not all, public meter fees; the Massachusetts Port Authority does not exempt meter fees. Follow posted signs and other applicable parking ordinances. Berklee lists eight nearby street spaces: two on Belvidere Street near Massachusetts Avenue; one on Haviland Street near Hemenway Street; two in front of 15 Hemenway Street; one at St. Cecilia Street and Boylston Street; and two at Massachusetts Avenue and Boylston Street. Do not park in cross-hatched access areas. Availability can change because of street cleaning, public events, snow emergencies or construction.
Before you make a plan
Which composers’ music is on the program?
The listing names Bob Pilkington, Dave Harris, Mimi Rabson and Darrell Katz. It gives no individual work titles and does not confirm that the composers will perform.
What does Do617 list for tickets?
Tickets are listed at $19.50. Eligible Berklee students and faculty/staff can use discounted prices, with a four-ticket limit and email-based eligibility verification. Do617 says sales are final unless the performance is canceled or postponed; ticket fees are nonrefundable.
Which Green Line stop serves the venue?
Use Hynes Convention Center. From the stop, the venue directions lead along Massachusetts Avenue, across Boylston Street, to the Performance Center.
Can I still request sign-language interpretation?
Berklee requires requests at least three weeks in advance; the deadline for this concert was October 19 and had passed by the November 1 information check. Contact the box office to ask about a late request, but interpreter availability is not guaranteed.
What should I know about accessible parking?
Accessible spaces are available at area garages and lots, while street spaces are limited. Berklee says placard holders may park at metered spaces without charge, subject to applicable parking rules; check posted signs and current conditions.
