Over the past few years, the BSO’s commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) has evolved from an organic approach of creating spaces for diverse artistic expression to a deliberate effort to address the structural and societal barriers to allowing for a convergence of artistic expression within broad historical, economic, social, and cultural contexts. At its core, the Boston Symphony Orchestra is a service organization that utilizes music performances to inspire, facilitate, provoke, and sustain meaningful connections.
