Check the organizer’s latest schedule ↗Marcus Gilmore’s ‘Journey to the New’: five musicians, one percussion focus
The announced lineup for Marcus Gilmore’s “Journey to the New” puts drums in a five-musician setting: Morgan Guerin adds EWI/sax, David Virelles plays piano, Emmanuel Michael guitar and Endea Owens bass. Berklee describes the concert as a continuation of Gilmore’s exploration of percussion through new sound compositions and rhythms.
Four instrumental partners around the drums
Berklee lists Guerin on EWI/sax, Virelles on piano, Michael on guitar and Owens on bass, joining Gilmore. The lineup places his drums within a five-musician ensemble rather than presenting a solo feature.
Berklee frames the concert as part of Gilmore’s continuing work with percussion, drawing on newly created sonic material and rhythmic approaches. The announcement gives that broad creative premise but does not specify arrangements or say which musicians will lead particular passages.

Earlier collaborations, not guest billing
A Do617 artist profile describes Gilmore as a drummer, composer and bandleader, and notes that he has recorded and toured with Chick Corea, Vijay Iyer and Steve Coleman. The profile also credits him with a Grammy won as part of Corea’s band for Best Latin Jazz Album for “Antidote.” Those are career credits, not additional performers announced for this Berklee concert.

Every person entering needs a ticket
No event-specific age policy is stated. Berklee requires a ticket for everyone entering the theater, including children and infants.
Check seating and services with the box office
The theater entrance at 136 Massachusetts Avenue leads from the sidewalk to the orchestra level without steps. Balcony seating is accessible by stairs only, and there is no elevator or escalator in the building. Accessible restrooms and a water fountain are in the first-floor main lobby.
Wheelchair-accessible seating is in Orchestra Right rows A–B, with space for one wheelchair and three companions, and rows Q–R, with space for two wheelchairs and multiple companions. Both seating locations are on level ground, but the floor leading to the seats slopes downward. Rear-orchestra spaces in rows KK–LL—left, right and center—are level and have no decline. These seating areas use movable cushioned chairs, some with armrests and some without.
Getting to Berklee Performance Center
Green Line and bus
Berklee directs Green Line riders to the Hynes Convention Center stop. Exit left onto Massachusetts Avenue, cross Boylston Street and continue about 30 yards from the corner to the theater at 136 Massachusetts Avenue. Buses also run along Massachusetts Avenue and Boylston Street; consult the MBTA for routes and schedules.
Driving routes
From the west, Berklee’s directions use I-90 east to Exit 22 for the Prudential Center, then Huntington Avenue and Massachusetts Avenue. From the south, take I-93 north to the Massachusetts Avenue/Roxbury exit and continue on Massachusetts Avenue. From the north, take I-93 south or Route 1 south, follow the Storrow Drive west signs to the Fenway exit, then use Boylston Street to reach Massachusetts Avenue.
Garages and street parking
Berklee lists Hynes Auditorium Garage at 50 Dalton Street; Haviland Street Garage at 5 Haviland Street and 1085 Boylston Street; Back Bay Hilton parking on Dalton Street; Danker and Donohue Garage at 341 Newbury Street; Central Parking Jazz at 1087 Boylston Street; and Sheraton Boston Hotel parking at 39 Dalton Street. Rates may change, so check with a garage directly.
At Hynes Auditorium Garage, Berklee lists a $5 patron discount on weekdays after 4 p.m. and weekends. Have the ticket validated by the house manager and pay at the exit gate, not at a garage kiosk. Metered street parking is limited.
Accessible parking
Accessible spaces are available at the listed garages and lots; accessible street parking is extremely limited. Berklee identifies 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 where Massachusetts Avenue meets Boylston Street. Availability and access status can change because of street cleaning, construction, public events or other conditions; follow posted signs and keep cross-hatched van-ramp areas clear.

Do children need tickets?
Yes. Berklee requires a ticket for everyone entering the theater, including children and infants.
Can I still request sign-language interpretation?
