  • Broad, interconnected thematic programming drives the BSO’s just announced 2025-2026 season, including “E Pluribus Unum,” a kaleidoscopic exploration of American works, “Where Words End: Music and the Natural World,” and “Faith in Our Time,” as well as a celebration of Symphony Hall's 125th birthday.
