Season 6 Lookback

The Boston Festival Orchestra celebrates the close of its sixth season—an adventurous exploration of classical music as a force for good in our community. Our signature Chamber Series featured exciting guest artists alongside some of BFO’s newest rostered musicians at the Cambridge Public Library, Boston Public Library, and First Church in Cambridge. The BFO Bash returned to Chinatown and helped raise money for our Musician Sponsorship Program, and this July's Summer Stage reach ednew heights with The Drop That Contained the Sea and Bruckner 6Meanwhile, our MusicReach program continued to grow, connecting more youth and families with live music than ever before. Thnk you for being a part of our journey! It was our biggest season yet, and we can't wait to share how we're making the next big step in Season 7!
