“Earlier this week, the Boston Symphony Orchestra launched ‘BSO at Home,’ an online hub where listeners can stay connected with the orchestra while Symphony Hall remains closed,” writes Zoë Madonna in Wednesday’s (3/25) Boston Globe. “Programming is available via www.bso.org/athome. ‘BSO at Home’ offerings will include six weeks of curated audio from the BSO vaults … behind-the-scenes videos from past BSO and Tanglewood activities, and self-produced videos from BSO musicians and conductors who have buckled down in their homes (associate principal bassoon Rick Ranti and oboist Andrea Bonsignore were the first to share a home video). A ‘BSO Homeschool’ page will include videos and other educational offerings…. WCRB-FM will also air encore broadcasts of BSO concerts from the past six years at 8 p.m. every day except Sundays for the next four weeks…. The orchestra has canceled all performances and events at Symphony Hall and Tanglewood through May 2, which was to be the end of the subscription season…. Music director Andris Nelsons was touring Europe with the Vienna Philharmonic earlier this month when venues around the continent began to close due to the coronavirus. He remains overseas.”
