Graciela Briceno

Graciela Briceno (CFA’09,’13) of Brighton, Mass., ran the Boston Marathon in April 2019 as a charity runner for the Brookline Symphony Orchestra. “What I love most about this orchestra is its dedication to cultural enrichment for all people, not just those who can afford it,” she writes. “We play at nursing homes and schools several times a year so that people who cannot attend our concerts can still enjoy live classical music. The importance of ‘music for all’ was instilled in me during my time at CFA, and has been at the heart of my career as a music teacher and nonprofit director.”
