Repertory Orchestra
Under the direction of conductor Joel Bard, the Repertory Orchestra is an advanced, full symphonic orchestra composed of approximately 100 players of excellent technical and musical ability. Repertory Orchestra has performed in some of Boston's most prestigious venues including Symphony Hall, Sanders Theatre at Harvard University, Jordan Hall at New England Conservatory and the Tsai Performance Center at Boston University.
All Repertory Orchestra members start the season at the BYSO Summer Camp, which takes place at New England Music Camp (NEMC). Here members spend a week learning new music, making new friends and enjoying NEMC's beautiful campus.
During the season, all members participate in one of two chamber orchestras, Repertory Sinfonietta and Repertory Camerata, in which they explore music of the classical period, including great works by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. By studying such repertoire as part of these chamber orchestras, Repertory Orchestra members develop specific techniques of ensemble playing and musical phrasing to a degree they may not otherwise experience within the larger orchestra. Joel Bard conducts Repertory Sinfonietta and John Holland conducts Repertory Camerata.
