Dances for Spring

The Berklee Contemporary Symphony Orchestra is the premiere symphony at Berklee College of Music, offering students, faculty, and guest artists the opportunity to come together and perform some of the most influential music ever written. Focused on the regular and intentional inclusion of composers who represent the broad spectrum of our humanity, the BCSO performs both traditional and contemporary genres side-by-side, because all orchestral music was once contemporary. The ensemble is dedicated to creating the musical change we seek to see in professional orchestral music, with a commitment to including compositions by women and people of color on every concert. The BCSO is led by Managing Director Jamie Davis-Ponce and Artistic Director Julius P. Williams.

About the Berklee Contemporary Symphony Orchestra
The Berklee Contemporary Symphony Orchestra is a full symphony ensemble committed to the art of orchestra playing that honors the past, present, and future. In addition to the great compositions of the past, this orchestra's repertoire includes original compositions by Berklee faculty and students, and contemporary music from around the globe and from burgeoning genres such as film and video game scores. 
 
About the program:
The Berklee Contemporary Symphony Orchestra presents an assortment of symphonic music by Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, David Popper, Giacomo Puccini, Pyotr Tchaikovsky, and Edward Elgar. This will be an exciting and beautiful blend of fan favorites such as the Introduction and Finale to Romeo and Juliet by Tchaikovsky and Symphonic Dances from West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein.
For this concert, the program is lively with our selections of dance music that many classical music listeners will have already heard. However, we have also chosen to include the emotional intimacy of Puccini's Intermezzo from the opera, Manon Lescaut and Nimrod from Elgar's Enigma Variations as a way for the listener to breath in between the pieces.
