Strings!

Teachers, parents, and students: the BSO is taking a virtual fieldtrip, bringing music and activities to you through BSO OffStage! Arts-integrated, interactive, and engaging, Midweek Concerts: BGE Broadcasts call on the BSO’s new high definition cameras to bring our longest running and widest reaching educational series to life digitally. The first program of four features the string section performing works by Mendelssohn, Jessie Montgomery, and Bartók conducted by Associate Conductor Nicholas Hersh and Assistant Conductor Jonathan Rush. Midweek Concerts: BGE Broadcasts are primarily designed for students in the elementary grades but are appropriate for all ages.
