Mission and History

 


 

Founded in 1996 by Artistic Director Gil Rose, the Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP) is one of a handful of professional orchestras in the United States dedicated exclusively to performing and recording music of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Through its concerts and recordings, BMOP strives to illuminate the connections that exist between contemporary music and contemporary society by reuniting composers and audiences in a shared concert experience.

In just eight years, BMOP has:

  • Programmed 47 concerts of contemporary orchestral music
  • Presented 37 world premieres, including 18 commissioned by the orchestra
  • Recorded 50 works and released 10 world premiere recordings
