The BSO possesses a sound unlike any other orchestra , and its audiences are equally unique . This is why my programming aims not only to harness the unparalleled talent of the BSO musicians , but also to reflect the diverse needs , tastes , interests , and pride within our community .
This is my vision and my promise — that together we will continue to strive to make the BSO a meaningful part of its community .
After all , we are your Baltimore Symphony Orchestra .
