Annual Report

As the Boston Symphony Orchestra's 2008-09 season launched on September 24, 2008, the stock market was only days away from its precipitous decline. The downturn's potential impact on the BSO's unique artistic product was of immediate concern. Yet, thanks to the dedication of the BSO community-our unparalleled artists, generous donors, enduring audiences, and tireless volunteers and staff-the BSO continued making music of the highest caliber and spreading music's joys to millions of people all over world.
