About the Berklee Contemporary Symphony Orchestra Since its debut in 2008, the Berklee Contemporary Symphony Orchestra (BCSO) has set out on a course to distinguish itself from other Boston-area orchestras. The ensemble has more than 100 members and itis the first full symphonic group ever assembled at Berklee. Possessing a distinct Berklee twist, the group specializes in programming contemporary works—particularly those by living composers-but often juxtaposes them with pieces from the traditional symphonic repertoire. The BCSO is committed to the art of orchestral playing that honors the past, present, and future. In addition to the great compositions of the past, this orchestra's repertoire includes original compositions by Berklee faculty and students, and contemporary music from around the globe and from burgeoning genres such as film and video game scores.
