Symphonic celebration featuring Joe Boucher, a five-piece rock band, and a classical string quartet to raise funds for The Patricia and Herbert Pratt Family Healing Garden at Mount Auburn Hospital.
Music lovers and Billy Joel fans across Greater Boston are invited to experience an extraordinary night of live music for a powerful community cause. NEW YORK STATE OF MIND – THE SONGS OF BILLY JOEL takes the stage at the historic Regent Theatre in Arlington, MA, on Friday, October 16, 2026, at 8:00 PM.
Featuring acclaimed pianist and lead vocalist Joe Boucher, this immersive concert experience spans the entire spectrum of Billy Joel’s legendary career. The show brings the "Piano Man’s" iconic discography to life through sweeping orchestral arrangements crafted by Christopher Eastburn, seamlessly blending the energy of a five-piece rock band with the rich textures of a live classical string quartet.
More than just a night of timeless hits—from "Piano Man" and "Uptown Girl" to "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant"—the performance serves as a benefit concert. Proceeds from ticket sales will directly support The Patricia and Herbert Pratt Family Healing Garden at Mount Auburn Hospital, a tranquil green sanctuary designed to promote physical and emotional healing for hospital patients, visiting families, and healthcare workers.
"Billy Joel’s music is part of the American soundtrack—it connects people across generations," said Boucher. "Bringing these incredible arrangements to Arlington with a full band and string quartet is special on its own, but knowing this concert directly supports the Healing Garden at Mount Auburn Hospital makes it an honor to take the stage."
