If experiencing newly commissioned orchestral works from contemporary composers is your bag, look no further than the Boston Modern Orchestra Project. Now in its 14th year of existence, the Gil Rose-directed outfit has carved an impressive niche, having performed over 70 world premieres (thirty of them commissioned) and started its own record label BMOP/sound.

While providing audiences with opportunities to become acquainted with the works of rising contemporary composers like Thomas Adès, Lisa Bielawa, Bright Sheng, and Evan Ziporyn, BMOP have also been vital interpreters of 20th century titans like Elliott Carter, John Cage, Toru Takemitsu, Paul Hindemith, Charles Ives, Steve Reich and countless others. BMOP has won the ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming of Orchestral Music ten times, and is clearly at the forefront of contemporary classical music today.
