About us
The Boston Symphony Orchestra gave its inaugural concert in 1881, realizing the dream of its founder, the Civil War veteran/businessman/philanthropist Henry Lee Higginson, who envisioned a great and permanent orchestra in his hometown of Boston. Today the BSO and Boston Pops reach millions of listeners through not only their concert performances in Boston and at Tanglewood, but also via digital programs on BSO NOW, radio, television, educational programs, recordings, and tours.

Our Concert for the City last Sunday (5/5) was bursting with talent from our incredible guest performers, including Youth Poet Laureate Anjalequa Birkett, violinist Nathan Amaral, and the Boston Arts Academy's Tina Turner Revue. Along with those performances, our conductors, Andris Nelsons, Keith Lockhart, Thomas Wilkins, and James Burton, created magical moments with the BSO, Boston Pops, and Tanglewood Festival Chorus, all performing at the same concert. 📸: Robert Torres
