ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE

The Boston Festival Orchestra launches its Season 6 Chamber Series with an evening of music rooted in New England voices and landscapes, presented for the first time at the First Church in Cambridge. This program traces a distinctly American throughline — from living local composer Arson Fahim to trailblazers Charles Ives, Amy Beach, and Vally Weigl — before concluding with one of the great pillars of the chamber repertoire, Johannes Brahms’s Clarinet Trio in A minor. Together, these works explore memory, place, and personal expression across generations.

Join BFO Artistic Director Alyssa Wang, BFO musicians, and guest artists for an immersive chamber music experience that blends performance with thoughtful discussion, inviting audiences to engage with the music’s historical, cultural, and emotional context.

This concert is free and open to the public, with registration required.
