Max Hobart, music director
Dear friends,
Enjoy this interview with our May 17 piano soloist, Kingsley Chen! Your humble manager recently had a chance to discuss music, summer plans, and Cody the dog with 14-year-old Kingsley Chen thanks to Access Framingham Cable Television. Watch here.
We are so pleased to present piano prodigy Kingsley Chen playing Beethoven’s Piano Concerto no. 2, along with the popular New World Symphony by Dvořák, with its famous “Going Home” theme. Please join us for the final concert of our 2025-2026 season on Sunday, May 17.

Note for May 17, 2026: The school year will have ended on May 15, so there will be no shuttle service available between campus parking lots and the concert hall. However, there will be very few cars around and you may park anywhwere unless noted otherwise. The “A-Zone” lot behind Dwight Hall/Athletic Center is always reserved for the orchestra members.

The Dwight Performing Arts Center is within Dwight Hall, on the eastern side of the Framingham State campus. Patrons may enter by the front door, which involves fifteen steps, and find the auditorium straight ahead. An accessible entrance is located at the back of the building, through the glass door to the attached Athletic Center. Please follow the signs to the elevator and the concert hall.
Patrons may be dropped off at the A Zone lot entrance before parking vehicles in another lot, or dropped off on State Street with short walk to the front entrace. On Sundays, the “permit only” signs at campus parking lots are not in force.
Find Us at FSU! Please download the map below and bring it with you. Note that the blue ovals indicate visitor parking, including on weekends. State Street is the main north-south road bisecting the campus and is shown in red on the map.
