In 1997, Gil Rose founded the Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP) in the hope that America’s most aristocratic music scene might be ready for a different type of ensemble that embraced new music and placed more value on innovation than virtuosity. “Ten years and 42 world premieres later, BMOP is emerging as the national leader among orchestras of its ilk… Its performances draw the city’s youngest concert crowds by far, with their combination of Rose’s savvy programming, the orchestra’s incisive and stylish playing, and a general vibe that somehow weds a breezy coolness with a healthy dose of chaos.”
