Every tour leaves behind a story.
Special thanks to the @nypmusicians for their generosity and support during an unexpected moment on the Carnegie tour. š»
Remembering Michael Tilson Thomas, a musician whose spirit shaped generations at the BSO and Tanglewood.
āMTT and I were classmates at Tanglewood in the late 1960s, just before I joined the BSO and he became assistant conductor. Even then, as a āstudent,ā his talent and charisma filled the room.ā ā Lawrence Wolf, Assistant Principal Bass

Standing together at Carnegie Hall felt especially powerful this week. Weāre deeply grateful for the support from our colleagues at Local 802, and for the New York audience whose warmth filled the hall. Music connects us. Thank you, NYC. š½ā¤ļø

As we head into concerts this week in Boston and New York @carnegiehall , we invite you to join us in a gesture that has come to mean so much. Many of us continue to wear a red flower, or anything red, as a quiet symbol of solidarity and care.
If you feel moved, weād love to see you wear red with us in the hall. Your support has lifted us through these past weeks, and we carry it with us into every performance.
With love,
BSO Musicians šø @trombonetoby
From across the ocean and across the country, our colleagues sent words of care, strength, and solidarity.

Thank you for the outpouring of support and solidarity these last couple of weeks. Your voices, your energy, and your presence reminded us why we do what we do. When someone in the hall shouted āWe love you,ā we felt it, and we meant it right back.
Because of you, weāre reminded of the power of music to bring people together, to lift us up, and to carry us forward. Weāll continue to give you the very best of ourselves and the highest level of musicāmaking we can offer.
Join us this week for a program that spans beauty, radiance, and discovery: Mozartās luminous Piano Concerto No. 21, the American premiere of Tarkiainenās Day, Night, Day, and Sibeliusās First Symphony; a work of sweeping drama, Nordic color, and raw emotional power. Three worlds, one stage.

We are deeply moved by this letter from the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra (BRSO) and Sir Simon Rattle. Their support for the musicians and for Andris Nelsons speaks to the trust, respect, and shared artistry that unite orchestras across continents.
In times of change, messages like this remind us that we are part of a global musical family. We are grateful for their solidarity and for the recognition of the work we create together with Andris.
With admiration,
BSO musicians
