Boston Classical Orchestra

The mission of the Boston Classical Orchestra is to offer outstanding performances of the chamber orchestra repertoire in an intimate setting, concentrating on music of the Classical period. Through imaginatively presented live concerts given in a relaxed atmosphere, the BCO seeks to foster a sense of connection between audience and performers and to strengthen its appeal to a growing and varied public. Founded in 1980, the Boston Classical Orchestra performs in Boston's historic Fanueil Hall. The BCO is a fully professional chamber orchestra that performs five programs each season on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Each program is carefully crafted to encompass a broad spectrum of classical music appropriate for a Beethoven-era orchestra. A lecture about the music precedes both Friday and Sunday concerts, and the conductor offers brief spoken commentary about the music and musicians during the concerts.
