This is the start of something big!
Jonathon Heyward’s tenure as the BSO’s thirteenth music director has begun and so has our commitment to reimagining what an Orchestra can be ― in our halls and in our communities. It’s a bold vision that we know is achievable, but only with you beside us!
So, Jonathon has personally issued this challenge to the BSO and music-lovers like you…
Let’s get 3,000 people to join the movement in support of orchestral excellence, making the BSO a symphony for absolutely everyone, making world-class music accessible to new audiences and new generations, and bringing music out into our communities across Maryland.
We’re all in this together. Take action… Get involved… and help make music happen today!
