manifesto

When we built the BSO into one of the finest orchestras in the world, we left room for expansion.

We didn’t stop at perfecting the tried and true. The music didn’t die with Beethoven.

​

Today, with brass, string, and wood, we’re building a sound that resonates even deeper than it did before.

We’re complimenting our existing repertoire by assembling a musical playground full of contemporary pieces,

innovative collaborations, and the next era of great artists. We’re raising platforms for new voices and

amplifying culture’s next movement, all while paying respect to our legacy of visionary sound.

​

Classical music extends further than one’s preconceived notions. It tells stories, breaks boundaries, and

speaks to the next generation just as much as the last. It’s not rigid, restrictive or remote. It’s not for the

privileged few. The BSO is where music lives. And it belongs to all of us.
