“BSO 360,” a new behind-the-scenes series self-produced by the BSO, has begun airing nationally on PBS, and now on the BSO website! Episode #103: A retrospective on Boston Pops conductors Arthur Fiedler, John Williams and Keith Lockhart, profiles of Leonard Bernstein and pianist Paul Lewis, and bassist Joe Hearne shares his love of flying small planes in his off hours.

Herbert Blomstedt, one of the great conductors of the era, returns to the BSO podium for a work central to the repertoire, Brahms's rich, complex Symphony No. 1.

A collaboration between the Boston Symphony Orchestra and New England Conservatory, "What I Hear" is a series of free hour-long events meant to introduce audiences to composers working with the BSO.
