An Afternoon of Chamber Music
Monday, February 24th - 1PM
The Brockton Symphony Orchestra is proud to present an afternoon of Chamber Music, free to the public.
Join us for a relaxing "musical vacation" and hear delightful selections for small ensembles. The program includes string duos and trios, a flute quartet, and woodwind quintet with piano. Learn about the double reed instruments: the oboe, English horn, and bassoon. Listen to the interplay between the players as they share musical conversations; each instrument providing a unique color and sound, creating a kaleidoscope of constantly changing colors and textures. Bring your friends to this unique, free to the public, afternoon event!
Featuring compositions by Nicole Chamberlain, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Erik Lindgren, Maurice Emmanuel, Jérôme Naulais, and Ludwig Thuille.

Masterworks 2: American Discoveries
Sunday, March 16, 2025 - 3PM
Christ Congregational Church, Brockton
Explore orchestral gems and the diverse music of America, from the rural-hoedown (Ruth Crawford Seeger's Rissolty, Rossolty) and touching lullaby (William Grant Still's Mother and Child), to New York swing (Artie Shaw's Clarinet Concerto). Virtuosic clarinetist Matt Griffith brings Copland's magnificent Concerto to life. Visit the local village market as the circus comes to town in Walter Piston's ballet suite, The Incredible Flutist and witness William Schuman's New England Triptych, based on the music of local composer William Billings, who founded our neighboring Stoughton Musical Society chorus in 1774!

Dear Brockton Symphony Family,
One of the great joys of conducting is discovering new pieces of music and talented soloists. Our 2024-25 season, The Road Less Traveled, is about discovering fresh and diverse musical experiences. From American Discoveries to a unique Festival of Strings, we aim to bring people together around a shared love of music. Our reinterpretations of classic works and the introduction of new soloists promise to surprise and inspire our audience. We can't wait to embark on these new and exciting musical journeys with you!
