Strings, brass, winds, and percussion make up a symphony orchestra. These four instrument families create incredible sound when played together but also shine on their own. BSO musicians speak about their instruments and how the different families are connected, as well as favorite instrument jokes! Hear works by Dukas, Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Rouse, Grieg, and Gabrieli, each showcasing the individual families at their best!
The broadcast premieres at 8pm Eastern / 5pm Pacific. BSO Sessions episodes begin with a performance premiere, followed by on-demand access through June 2021.
Purchase tickets to access the livestream. Tickets are $10.
