Hello, Friends!
On behalf of the Boston Festival Orchestra's Board of Directors, I’m thrilled to invite you to join us for the second annual BFO Bash — an evening that celebrates music, community, and the bold spirit that defines the BFO. As we launch our sixth season, we invite you to experience classical music through the fresh, authentic, and innovative lens that has become our signature. This special event brings together supporters, artists, and friends for a one-of-a-kind celebration that reflects who we are: a world-class orchestra committed to redefining how music connects with people and communities.
The Boston Festival Orchestra Bash is more than a fundraiser — it’s an invitation to be part of a movement. Through our pay-what-you-can model, our Music Reach program, and our commitment to accessibility, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to experience extraordinary live performance. Join us for an unforgettable evening as we celebrate the musicians, visionaries, and partners who make this work possible — and help us write the next chapter of the BFO story. Come experience the energy, artistry, and community that only the Boston Festival Orchestra can bring. See you at the Bash!
Cheers,
Leslie Wu Foley
President, Board of Directors
