BSO YOUTH AND FAMILY CONCERTS 

 
Peter and the Wolf 2010 - Federico Cortese, Music Director and Kids from the Audience conducting on stage


Since 2009, BYSO has been partnering with the Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO) to collaborate on an expanded 3-part BSO Family Series!
Together with the BSO, we are committed to fostering the future of classical music. The goal of this dynamic and interactive series is to serve younger generations of classical music listeners by performing children-friendly concerts that engage, entice, and educate young audience members.

A word by Music Director Federico Cortese: "The BYSO staff and I have come to the conclusion that our BYSO students can serve as ideal ambassadors of classical music to New England's youth. We believe there's no better way to do this than for us to partner with the BSO -- by far the greatest music institution in Boston. It is my hope that this new series will make a significant contribution to the engagement of Boston's youth with classical music -- not just as performers, but also as classical music appreciators."

The BSO has a long history of presenting classical music programs to educate and entertain young audiences. Year after year, these programs continue to thrill and inspire the next generation of music lovers. BSO Youth and Family concerts are compelling and interactive and will introduce young people and families to the wide spectrum of classical music. This season’s theme is “The Beat Goes On: A Musical Look at Perseverance, Pace, and Pulse in Music.” Returning to the BSO in 2011 is newly appointed BSO Germeshausen Youth and Family Concerts Conductor Thomas Wilkins.
