BMOP Begins 25th Anniversary Season at Symphony Hall at Symphony Hall

The Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP), the nations premier orchestra dedicated exclusively to commissioning, performing, and recording new orchestral music, begins its quarter-century season with a free, one-night- only organ spectacular.

The ambitious program features two massive organ concertos by Stephen Paulus and Joseph Jongen, alongside works by J.S. Bach (as arranged by Edward Elgar) and Olivier Messiaen, to be performed by Americas leading organist Paul Jacobs on Symphony Halls G. Donald Harrison-designed Aeolian-Skinner organ, Opus 1134 (built in 1947, renovated in 2004 by Foley-Baker).
