Opening Night at Symphony - Electronic Program Book
|
|
As part of Opening Night at Symphony 2009, the Boston Symphony Orchestra introduces an imaginative new concept – the “Electronic Program Book” - that utilizes the Symphony's website to link to and share information about other organizations of interest to BSO patrons. Each organization participates at no direct cost thanks to the generosity of Opening Night table sponsors who underwrite the cost of participation. Donor-sponsored organizations include Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Northeastern University School of Music, The Boston Foundation, Tenacity, and the Ocean Edge Resort & Golf Club. The first program of its kind, the “Electronic Program Book” allows the sponsored-organizations to reach the 7.1 million people from around the world who visit bso.org each year.
