OUR VISION: PASSIONATE MUSIC MAKING WITHOUT BOUNDARIES

Radiates out through the energy of our players as they passionately lead with their bodies and dig their bows deep into the string. Is expressed in the composition of the orchestra, where top professionals, brilliant student musicians and passionate amateurs grow into one voice in the intensity and commitment of their music-making. Stimulates

players to take ownership of the music and to contribute their insights freely. Is manifest in the high level of audience engagement in our illuminating pre-concert talks. Moved us to expand, not pull back, in difficult times, launching the Discovery Series for eager, less experienced newcomers. Inspires us to donate tickets to bring to the underserved the hope great music can offer. Animates the audience, and stirs players and supporters alike to enroll others, in an ever-widening circle, in the extraordinary power of music. Propels the entire Boston Philharmonic community to be ambassadors of joy and passion.

Spotlighting performances on our 26-27 season 🎵✨

Widely celebrated as one of the foremost Mahler interpreters of his time, Maestro Benjamin Zander leads the BPO in its final concert of the 26-27 season on Sunday, April 11, 2027 at 3 PM, featuring Mahler’s Symphony No. 9 together with Britten’s Sinfonia da Requiem.

The program brings together two deeply personal meditations on mortality, grappling with themes of grief, transcendence, and renewal.

Britten composed his largest orchestral work, Sinfonia da Requiem, in 1940 at the age of 26 as Europe descended into war, while Mahler’s Ninth Symphony is widely regarded as his final farewell before he died at the age of 50.

The two works explore loss and the empowering endurance of the human spirit.

We invite you to join us at Symphony Hall next spring for this farewell performance.

🎟️ Subscriptions to the 2026-2027 season are available now at BostonPhil.org.

Spotlighting performances on our 26-27 season 🎵✨

Get ready for back-to-back Beethoven!

The third BPO concert of the season on Sunday, February 14, 2027 at 3 PM features an all-Beethoven program including his Symphony No. 9, in which the composer uses chorus and vocal soloists in its final movement to expand the symphony into a statement on humanity, freedom, and brotherhood that stands the test of time.

Acclaimed soloists joining us for this concert include soprano Angel Blue, mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton, tenor Nicholas Phan, and bass Solomon Howard together with Chorus pro Musica, under the direction of Jamie Kirsch.

The program also includes Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture, which was inspired by Heinrich Joseph von Collin's 1804 five-act tragedy “Coriolan,” and tells of a semi-mythic Roman general who was exiled from Rome for his despotic behavior, playing out themes of honor and inner turmoil.

🎟️ Subscriptions to the 2026-2027 season are available now at BostonPhil.org.

Spotlighting performances on our 26-27 season 🎵✨

Get ready for works by Schubert and Bruckner!

On Sunday, November 22 at 3 PM, the BPO performs a program exploring the Austrian symphonic tradition, featuring Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony No. 8 – one of classical music’s great enigmas that displays extraordinary emotional depth despite its only two finished movements.

The grand musical structure of Bruckner’s Symphony No. 5 culminates in a contrapuntal finale renowned for its double fugue combining a Baroque academic approach with Romantic orchestration that reflects the composer’s admiration for Bach and Beethoven.

🎟️ Subscriptions to the 2026-2027 season are available now at BostonPhil.org.

Will we see you at Symphony Hall this fall?
