BSO LATE NIGHT
New this season on five Friday evenings marked with the
symbol,
join us in the lobby of the Meyerhoff for a post-concert performance by
select guest artists. Pianists Jean-Yves Thibaudet (joined by soprano
Julia Bullock) and Gabriela Montero, violinist Ray Chen, the St. Lawrence
String Quartet and the University of Maryland Concert Choir all reveal
a different side of their artistry in intimate surroundings. Hear them in
a more relaxed setting while enjoying a drink with friends.

COMMISSIONS

Marked with the
symbol, look out for the remaining five miniature
Centennial Celebration Commissions still to be performed from the 10-work
project initiated in early 2016. These concerts will each include the premiere
of an exciting new work inspired by a subject sourced from members of the
public. The five composers are the youngest ever Pulitzer Prize winner Caroline
Shaw, T.J. Cole, Lori Laitman, Jonathan Leshnoff and Christopher Theofanidis.
