Special Event

Brown University hosts BMOP in February for open rehearsals, a performance of works by composition faculty Wang Lu, Eric Nathan and Joseph Butch Rovan and a Music Now lecture by Gil Rose. We return to campus in April to offer graduate and undergraduate students the rare chance to record their own works with a professional orchestra.

It's an orchestra! No, it's a video game! With bows speeding faster than the eye can follow and discrepancies between classical tradition and modern society overcome in a single bound...it's Play, rumored to be in the running for the best orchestral work written so far this century. On our very own BMOP/sound!

The Boston Modern Orchestra Project is the first-ever symphony orchestra to receive Musical America's prestigious Ensemble of the Year award!

Ralph Vaughan Williams: Dona Nobis Pacem and William Schuman: A Free Song. Sunday, May 3rd at 4pm at Sanders Theatre.
