The Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP), founded in 1996 by Artistic Director and Conductor Gil Rose, has distinguished itself as one of the leading orchestras in the United States dedicated to championing contemporary classical music. With a mission to redefine the orchestral music experience by presenting, commissioning, and recording innovative works, BMOP has become a powerful force for new music, breathing life into the repertoire with precision and fervor.

Dedicated to highlighting works from the 20th and 21st centuries, BMOP has an impressive discography, with many of its recent releases showcasing the diversity and dynamism of contemporary composition. Among these, the intense exploration of identity in Anthony Davis's opera "X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X" and the reflection on awakening from Tobias Picker's ballet "Awakenings" stand out. From the homage to Beethoven in Joan Tower's Piano Concerto to the exploration of Chinese myth in De Ritis's "Chang'E and the Elixir of Immortality," BMOP's offerings are as varied as they are compelling. John Corigliano's works "The Lord of Cries" and "To Music" further emphasize the ensemble's commitment to groundbreaking and emotionally resonant compositions. Under Rose's leadership, BMOP not only showcases the richness of contemporary classical music but also serves as a significant catalyst for its continued evolution.
