ZUMIX's annual summer concert series is back! Join us for a free concert in Piers Park, featuring the Boston-based Latin hip-hop group FM Collective and two of ZUMIX's own groups, Beatmakers and Rock Ed.

FM Collective is a Boston-based bilingual band blending Latin rhythms, hip-hop, and jazzy vibes into an energetic experience that gets audiences moving. Composed of Berklee graduates from all over the world, the group delivers original songs and dynamic covers that create a welcoming, uplifting atmosphere. FM Collective performs all over the area — across neighboring cities and beyond — and is on a run of local TV and radio appearances promoting their debut album Orologio. The band is currently working on new music to be released later in 2025.

Rock Ed is ZUMIX’s crash course on being in a rock band! Rock Ed is a youth-led program where they choose their favorite songs, while learning how to set up equipment, write chord progressions, and own the stage.

Beatmakers is ZUMIX’s digital music production program for youth from across Greater Boston. Using Ableton Live, young artists explore sampling, beatmaking, songwriting, and recording to create original music rooted in their lived experiences. The program centers youth voice, fosters collaboration, and builds technical skills through hands-on projects and creative experimentation.

This program will happen rain or shine. If there is inclement weather, the concert will move to the ZUMIX firehouse, located at 260 Sumner Street, Boston, MA 02128.
