The BSO’s food drive is taking place in connection with “Orchestras Feeding America,” a nationwide project of the League of American Orchestras, which represents the nation’s professional, volunteer, and youth orchestras.
The Boston Symphony Orchestra is also teaming up with The Greater Boston Food Bank to offer a Virtual Aid Food Drive to complement the one that is taking place in Symphony Hall on April 1, 2, and 3. To make a cash donation to The Greater Boston Food Bank, visit www.bso.org/fooddrive.
Receptacles for the BSO’s food drive at Symphony Hall will be available at both the Massachusetts Avenue and Cohen Wing entrances, before concerts and during concert intermissions on April 1, 2, and 3 (concerts begin at 8 p.m.). Though patrons with tickets to these concerts are especially encouraged to support the food drive, members of the community are also invited to participate in the food drive by dropping food items off between 7 and 8 p.m. each night.
The April 1, 2, and 3 performances of Mendelssohn’s Elijah feature the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by James Levine and joined by soprano Christine Brewer, mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe, tenor Aleksandrs Antoneko, and bass-baritone Shenyang. The concert marks the kick-off to the 40th anniversary celebration of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus, conducted by John Oliver.
The BSO’s 2009-10 season continues through May 1. Program and ticket details are available at bso.org.
