Mission: The boston civic symphony ("bcs") is the second oldest symphony orchestra in the city of boston. Founded in 1924 by the late educator, conductor and composer, joseph wagner, the bcs is one of boston's most respected musical organizations. And has distinguished itself through its focus on showcasing the talents of exceptionally skilled young musicians, many of whom have gone on to have distinguished professional careers. The missions of the bcs are:1) to encourage attendance by a diverse population from the greater boston area by offering moderately priced tickets and by distribution of a number of free tickets to underserved populations in the community. 2) to provide orchestral training and experience under competent direction for teachers, students of music who are preparing for professional music careers, and skilled amateurs. 3) to offer performances of unusual and contemporary works, with a special focus on american compositions, with leading soloist.
Programs: The bcs performs five subscription series concerts, three classical and two family performances, that offer a range of classical and contemporary music. The orchestra's presentation of works by masters like mozart, beethoven and brahms is balanced by its performances of pieces by contemporary american composers, which regularly include world premieres.
to provide scholarship financial support as well as orchestral training and experience for students pursuing a related music career.
