BSO Opening Gala

The BSO opens its season with a tribute to some of the great American composers, past and present. The pulse-pounding energy of John Adams takes us for a Short Ride in a Fast Machine. Jessie Montgomery’s arrangement of I Want to Go Home and Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915both reflect on memory, history, and longing. John Williams’ "Escapades" from the Spielberg film Catch Me If You Can evokes an air of cool mischievousness with its dynamic interplay of saxophone, vibraphone, and bass. The jazzy swagger of Gershwin’s famous An American in Parisfinishes the evening.

*The Opening Night Gala is a special fundraising event to benefit the BSO. For more information about attending this black-tie dinner and concert program, please contact our Development Events Office at [email protected].
